M.Neil Wheatcraft Memorial Scholarship


Mr. Wheatcraft was a beloved chemistry teacher at CFHS. He began his career at Chagrin in the 1950s and would retire after 30 years. Even in retirement he would volunteer weekly in the Science Department. One of his favorite activities that he continued to do into retirement was to set up the unknowns, a project that is a favorite even today for our chemistry students. Mr. Wheatcraft was also an officer and past Master in the Golden Gate Masonic Lodge #245.
