The G.H. Elliott Memorial Scholarship

The Lake Park High School Educational Foundation has announced the G. H. Elliott Memorial Scholarship, which will provide financial assistance to young men, and women who are planning on Industrial Technology/Vocational careers.

Gaylon H. Elliott was one of the founding faculty members of Lake Park High School when the school opened in 1956 and was a teacher/department chairman of the Industrial / Vocational / Technology Department for approximately thirty years.
