BISHOP LUERS HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCES A NEW SCHOLARSHIP

Bishop Luers High School is offering a scholarship in memory of Julie Edwards Baker. Julie Edwards Baker graduated from Bishop Luers in 1978 and passed away from colon cancer in August of 2013. While at Bishop Luers, Julie was involved in sports and a member of the Girls Athletic Association. She loved the years she spent at Bishop Luers High School and wanted her memorials to be used to support a student attending Bishop Luers. During her battle with colon cancer, Julie was hopeful that knowledge of her situation may make a positive impact on someone’s life by encouraging colon screening.

Bishop Luers High School is honored to announce freshman Casey Woodfill, St. John the Baptist, Fort Wayne, as the first recipient of the Julie Edwards Baker Memorial Scholarship. Casey was selected by the Bishop Luers faculty and staff. As the recipient of this scholarship Casey was awarded $1,000 for tuition assistance. Casey is the daughter of Amy Woodfill, BLHS class of 1986 and the late Brian Woodfill, BLHS class of 1986.

Individuals and organizations interested in setting up a scholarship at Bishop Luers or donating to the Julie Edwards Baker Memorial Scholarship can do so by contacting Kathy Skelly, Bishop Luers Development Director, at (260) 456-1261 ext. 3142.
