Scholarships Awarded to Class of 2025

The Grand Coulee High School Alumni Association is offering scholarships in the amount of $500 to two members of the Lake Roosevelt Jr.-Sr. High School Class of 2025: Riley Ayling and Heidi White. Both students wrote of high levels of engagement in high school life, including success in academics, extracurricular activities, and community service, as well as focused goals going forward after high school.

Six students from out of the area who are descendants of graduates of Grand Coulee High School prior to its consolidation with Coulee Dam High School in 1972 are also being offered scholarships: Lauren Rice and Emma Rice, students at Snohomish High School (granddaughters of Roy Rice, Class of 1961), Caden Hove, currently homeschooled and enrolled at Yakima Valley Technical skills Center (granddaughter of Fran Glick Hove, Class of 1963); Colby Ledgerwood, Pomeroy High School (grandson of Ben Alling, Class of 1967); Harley Stanford, Mt. Spokane High School and Spokane Community College (granddaughter of Dennis Wiese, Class of 1960); and Maxwell Worley, Kaiserslautern High School, Germany (grandson of Clarkette Perry Hollan, Class of 1969) These students, too, demonstrated via their scholarship applications highly successful high school experiences that included above-and-beyond participation in athletics and community service projects while earning cumulative grade point averages of 3.2 and higher. Their clearly-stated goals leading to meaningful careers included higher education at universities or technical schools.

The GCHS Alumni Association salutes these fine students and wishes them fulfilling post high school experiences and anticipates each one will contribute greatly to his or her family and community.
