WHS Class of 1961 Fund

This fund was established by Class of 1961 alumni who formed a committee in April 2018 to create the scholarship. According to the committee, the goal of the scholarship is to “help students in our community, who qualify, and are selected by TSF of Wakefield, to make the cost of higher education a little more affordable. Our class feels this is our way of saying ‘Thank You’ to the many teachers, coaches, classmates and members of the Wakefield community who helped to guide us through those formative years,” a spokesperson noted.
