Current Students
Community Club students in the ninth through twelfth grades are eligible for stipends in our stay-in-school scholarship program. These scholarships were started in 1969 to encourage students to stay in school until graduation (45% of District students don't graduate) and offer them an alternative to jobs, which often hurt academic progress. Scholarship amounts are scaled to students' class levels.
