Several members of the HPHS Class of '48
established a fund that would reflect their positive experience
at Highland Park High School. Our Foundation met with
several officials at the school and two projects were
identified. They are ongoing programs that are out of reach
financially, for some well deserving students.
| Close-Up on Washington is a
national program for high school juniors. The goal is to
provide students with an intensive onsite investigation
of the US federal government. Students meet with high
profile members of government, senators, representatives
and cabinet members. Students from all over the country
participate. The cost is $1500 per student. This will
require an endowment of $40,000 to issue an annual
scholarship. Costa Rica
Summer Program is an intensive academic course taught in
HPHS summer session. The students study three weeks at
HPHS and three weeks traveling in Costa Rica. They study
environmental science, Latin American history, physical
education and Spanish. |
All class reunions and individual graduates
should consider participating in this fund. The Foundation
should be contacted for major gifts that would name one of these
scholarships in honor or memory of someone.
