Class of ’63
The W. F. West High School Class of 1963
History:
During a W. F. West Scholarship and Awards night, Kathy Haunreiter Johnson, an alum of the Class of ‘63, was presenting a scholarship in honor of her parents. Inspired by the idea of individual classes awarding scholarships, she invited Bob Spahr from the Class of ‘65 to share how their scholarship fundraising worked. Moved by the opportunity to give back, the Class of ‘63 raised $4,000 in their reunion year to launch their scholarship program.
Scholarship Purpose:
To support W. F. West High School graduates in their pursuit of higher education, honoring the Class of ‘63’s deep appreciation for their hometown and the education they received.
Eligibility Criteria
Open to W. F. West High School graduates who demonstrate a commitment to furthering their education and career goals.
Selection Considerations
Awards are determined based on available funds and donor-established criteria, which may include financial need, academic performance, or other considerations decided by the Class of ‘63.
Additional Notes
The Class of ‘63 takes great pride in assisting fellow Bearcats as they embark on their futures, continuing a tradition of generosity and community support.
