Roy and Aleta Moore were lifelong residents of Brown County, Kansas, and moved to Hiawatha, Kansas, in 1975 retiring from a career of farming in the Robinson community. Mrs. Moore was the last to die in 1995, and in her Last Will and Testament, she established this testamentary trust for the award of the Moore Scholarship for graduating students from Hiawatha High School. The scholarship program began with the graduates of 1997 and will be in existence for a period of 20 years. In 2016, the funds were transferred to the USD #415 Educational Foundation with the purpose of continuing the tradition of assisting Hiawatha High School graduates in pursuing postsecondary educational opportunities. Congratulations to this year's recipients!

Congratulations to Tyler Davis & Paige Stover, HHS Gallon Grads! The Gallon Grad program is for all students who, from the time they are eligible at 16 years old until the time of graduation, give blood in the equivalent of 1 gallon. This would take either 8 individual donations of blood or a combination of individual blood donations and/or double red cell donations through the Alyx Donation system (counts for 2 donations). Donations do not have to take place during the Hiawatha School Blood Drives, and may happen at other drives sponsored by the Community Blood Center.
