Challis High School Scholarship Book ____________________________________________________________________________________ _______
Scholarship Books were created years ago because our commencement ceremony needed to be limited on time. So, our administration decided to thank our stakeholders and patrons for the scholarships awarded, but instead of being announced that they would be celebrated in a book provided with the graduation programs. The Scholarship Book was also created so parents and students had a memento in a way to celebrate those scholars each year. What a great way to celebrate our scholarships and students!
We are so grateful for our community and the interest they have to pour into our students by establishing scholarships for our graduating seniors. Please see the books that were made on behalf of the scholarship's donors and stakeholders. We can't say thank you enough and we appreciate you so much!
