Description:

The idea of creating a lasting legacy for students graduating from New Castle High School was a concept first advanced by Leon Ammerman, President of the Class of 1954. He introduced the idea at the Class of 1954’s forty-fifth reunion in September 1999. His idea caught on with his classmates and with their help in developing and producing marketing materials, sold the idea to the other Class members and the fund became a reality. The success of this class scholarship has been instrumental in getting other classes to start scholarship funds also. Preference will be given to a relative of the Class of 1954 but is not required.
