2010:
James
& Peggy Kingman
Jim was a founding member of the Southern York
County School District Foundation and was an advocate for its affiliation as a
local Dollars for Scholars chapter.
He served as a foundation director for nearly 10 years and helped guide it
through its difficult formative period. He was a tireless advocate of
foundation causes and inspired others by example and a quiet leadership style.
Jim and his wife, Peggy, were most passionate about funding the Southern York
County School District Welfare Fund, where his support created an effective
student safety net aiding countless youngsters. Because of this vision, the
Welfare Fund will continue its record as an effective part of the Southern York
County service community.
Robert Williams
Bob
served as the SYCSD Treasurer in the Foundation’s early years and was a
founding member of the Susquehannock High School Alumni Council. The results of
the countless hours he spent researching and creating an alumni data base were
instrumental in forming the school’s alumni association, now totaling over
1,100 members. The Association has become an integrated part of the
Foundation’s organization structure and its success has been a key factor in
Foundation growth and responsible for the creation, continuation and completion
of many programs, including the ambitious field house project.
Robert Wolf
Through
Bob’s leadership, the Class of 1958 has thrived as one of the SHS Alumni Association’s
most cohesive class organizations. His affection for Susquehannock and his
respect for its ideals have set a benchmark by example that few in the
Foundation’s life have approached. He is responsible for creating two important
scholarships in the Dollars for Scholars
program, both consistent with his strong connection with school values. One
honors his former coach and mentor – Bob McCoy – and another honors a fallen
soldier in the Iraq war, Eric Gonzales, an SHS alumnus. His example of honoring
individuals through scholarship has served as a prototype for the Foundations
“honor and memorial” program.
