Scholarships Awarded

The Leominster High School Class of 1969 is proud to announce that they awarded two $500 scholarships to deserving graduates selected by the faculty at the awards ceremony on June 3.

The first award went to Michael Caudill, an avid participant in the LHS Band for 4 years and plays in many different ...
musical events outside of school. He will be attending the University of Massachusetts at Amherst where he plans to double major in Jazz and Physics.

The second award went to Kevin Richardson-Span, a four year member of the Graphic Arts Program. Kevin will either be attending Fitchburg State College or Mount Wachusett Community College where he will continue his studies in Graphic Arts.
Our congratulations go out to both students; we wish them well in their endeavors.

The money for the scholarships was raised at the 40th Reunion through a raffle; the item was donated by Joseph and Gini Tocci of Joseph’s Jewelers, both members of the Class of 1969.
