Scholarship Application Information:

Applications for the HHSAA Scholarships, the Thomas Shontz Memorial Scholarship and the Dolores Heydinger Memorial Elementary Education Scholarship, and the Dick and June Klein Scholarship are available through the high school guidance office. Due dates are set by the office, so follow them carefully. Winners are announced at the annual Scholarship Awards Assembly held in mid-May.

Donations may be made at any time to the HHSAA Scholarship Fund, to the Thomas Shontz Memorial Scholarship Fund (for aspiring science career students), or to the Dolores Heydinger Elementary Education Scholarship (for graduates entering a program to prepare themselves to teach at the elementary level). All donations are bundled and invested securely with the Huron Education Foundation to earn additional dollars for scholarships in perpetuity. 

Mail your check to HHSAA Scholarship Fund, 710 Cleveland Road West, Huron, OH 44839. If you choose to donate to multiple scholarships, just fill out the form and write only ONE check. We split it here and credit each account. (Bank regulation!)

 Check with your place of employment to see if they have a matching fund agreement and thus leverage your contribution. We are a 501 c (3), thus your contribution, and that of an employer, will be fully tax-deductible under present IRS tax regulations.

The Huron Fallen Heroes Memorial was dedicated on October 24, 2013, at Huron Memorial Stadium. The project was spearheaded by Paul Ward, '83, who designed the memorial, raised the funds, saw to its completion, and then planned the beautiful ceremony. All members of the community were invited to attend the unveiling, especially veterans. The names of all 61 Huronites fallen in conflicts since the Civil War are inscribed on the wall of Vermont granite. View the presentation ceremony. For a complete list of the names, visit Huron Fallen Heroes, and at the top, click on Fallen Heroes List.

This form is open to collect feedback for the district from any Huron community member. Taking the time to submit a comment on his platform will ensure it is considered by school and district leadership. A reply will be provided to the submitter within a reasonable period of time, typically within 24 hours. 

Huron City Schools believes in recognizing individuals and organizations whose legacy has left a lasting mark on our district and community. The Facility Naming Committee oversees the naming and dedication of school properties in accordance with Board Policy FF, ensuring that each decision reflects our district's values, vision, and integrity.

Overview of Policy FF: Facility Naming Guidelines

What Properties Are Eligible?
Any district-owned facility may be considered for naming or renaming, including buildings, athletic fields, gymnasiums, stadiums, libraries, and other significant spaces.

What Criteria Are Considered?
A facility may be named after a geographic location, a defining community feature, or an individual who has made an extraordinary impact on Huron City Schools, the local community, state, or nation.

To be considered for a dedication, individuals should ideally meet several of the following criteria:

• Deceased for at least seven (7) years

• Embody the core values of public education and community service

• Have contributed meaningfully across multiple areas (e.g., education, athletics, the arts, civic engagement)

• Inspire multi-generational impact or legacy

• Promote school and community pride beyond standard involvement

Please note: No single criterion is determinative. Submissions should reflect a combination of attributes.

Submission Process

Step 1:
Submit a written proposal addressed to the Superintendent, clearly stating:

• Desired facility or location for naming

• Proposed honoree and justification

• Contact information for the applicant

• Due Date: February 1 each year

Step 2:
Include support letters from community members or organizations that reinforce the proposal’s merit.

Step 3:
The Facility Naming Committee reviews submissions each March, making a recommendation to either advance or decline the proposal. Applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision within 30 calendar days.

Step 4:
If approved, the Superintendent presents the recommendation for a first reading in May and final action in June at regular Board meetings. Public notice will be issued at least 30 days prior to the May meeting, and applicants are encouraged to attend and offer comments.

If rejected:

• Committee: Resubmission allowed after 12 months

• Board: Resubmission allowed after 48 months

Approved namings are granted for up to 10 years. Renewals may be requested in the final year and will take priority over new requests for the same facility.

Additional Notes

• Building/campus names should reflect function and purpose. Dedication naming is more appropriate for spaces within the facility.

• Naming a space after someone already honored in a similar way is discouraged.

• Applications are reviewed based on merit, not precedent.

Tree Memorials & Sponsorships

Memorial Trees:
A dedicated Tree Memorial Work Group under the Facility Naming Committee manages existing memorials and considers new tree recognition requests.

Community & Business Sponsorships:
Paid naming rights through partnerships or school-affiliated groups (e.g., Boosters) are permitted. These naming recognitions:

• Cannot exceed five (5) years

• Are renewable pending availability and sponsor interest
