THE FOUNDATION | May 2021
Honoring Dr. Walt Griffin
The Dr. Walt Griffin Scholarship Fund is a recent scholarship established in honor of our outgoing Superintendent Dr. Griffin. Under his leadership as Superintendent since 2012, SCPS has been an "A" rated school district and ranked #1 in STEM. 
Funds raised will be used to provide trade school or college scholarships to SCPS students who demonstrate academic achievement and financial need.
