Celebrating 50 years since graduating from Lawndale High is a big deal! 50 years! It is a true milestone, one that deserves a legacy. In recognition of our graduation from LHS in 1974, we are inaugurating the Alumni Scholarship Fund which will award a college bound LHS Senior with a scholarship! 

The selection of the student is made with the help of the counseling staff at LHS. And for the funding this first year, ASF donations are being accepted on our reunion GoFundMe page.  We are still exploring options for the best way to accept donations and administer the scholarship award.

We hope that alumni from all classes – from the first graduating class in 1962 to the more recent graduates of the 2020s – embrace the concept of paying it forward within our Cardinal family and contribute to the Alumni Scholarship Fund.  We also hope that as other classes plan milestone reunions, whether it’s a 10 year or 60 year, that you participate in awarding a scholarship as part of your reunion celebration and keep this legacy going. 

Alexandra Calderon is the 2024 Alumni Scholarship Recipient! She will be presented a $500 scholarship check by Mary (Rezzuti) Sutherland and Merrilee (Willis) Green at Senior Awards Night on May 30th, from 6pm - 8pm, at LHS. All alumni are welcome to attend.

Alexandra applied to 12 colleges/universities and was accepted into 9; she will be attending UCLA and majoring in Biochemistry. Alexandra is considering a career as a nurse, chemist or scientist. She is a first-generation college-bound student.
