Dr. Greg Kirsch Memorial Scholarship
The Dr. Greg Kirsch Memorial Scholarship was created in loving memory of the former Chehalis School District Superintendent, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Dr. Kirsch was a lifelong advocate of education, serving as a teacher, director of special education, assistant superintendent and superintendent in a public education career that spanned nearly 40 years. From 1995 through 2010, Dr. Kirsch served the Chehalis community as Superintendent of the Chehalis School District. His 15 years of service are second-most of any Chehalis Schools superintendent. During his time as superintendent in Chehalis, Dr. Kirsch established the Chehalis Community Cares Program, a fund to assist students in need.
In order to qualify for the scholarship, applicants must have been enrolled in Chehalis School District for at least five (5) years, have a high school GPA of 3.8 or better and must be attending a public college or university in the state of Washington. The scholarship is offered through donations from family members, friends and co-workers.
