Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Paul Tsongas Scholarship, Surika Praik & Caroline Chimm!

The Tsongas Scholarship is a prestigious award given to two Lowell High graduates each year and cover four yeas of tuition, room and board scholarship at the University of Massachusetts Lowell! Here's what they had to say about what this opportunity means to them:

As they begin their journeys at UMass Lowell this fall, we know they’ll continue to make the LHS community proud!

Last month, over 700 young future leaders crossed the stage at the Tsongas Center, marking the end of their journey at Lowell High School and the beginning of the next chapter as proud Red Raider alumni.

The Class of 2025 represents the best of Lowell — resilient, driven, and ready to take on the world. Here a quick snapshot of some of their incredible accomplishments:

• Submitted 4,100 college applications
• Earned over $450,000 in scholarships
• 98 students were awarded the John & Abigail Adams Scholarship for excellence on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System.
• Completed more than 370 early college and dual enrollment credits
• Performed 6,000 hours of community service.

From first-generation college students and future tradespeople to young professionals and entrepreneurs, this year’s graduates carry forward the spirit of our city and school. As the Alumni Association, we couldn’t be more proud to welcome them into our growing community of 30,000+ strong.

To the Class of 2025: Stay connected, keep reaching, and remember — you’ll always have a home at Lowell High.
