Caelen Lidstone Memorial Scholarship

On January 26, 2018, our world lost our beautiful son Caelen Lidstone. He was 13 years old. Caelen was an incredibly warm, compassionate entertainer who was full of mischief, love and laughs for his many friends and family. Though he left us far too soon, he made an impact on everyone he met. He strived for success and worked extremely hard. At a mere 6’3”, Caelen was not easily missed, but if his size didn’t get you, his heart would. His huge smile and athletic prowess would keep you watching in awe. Our ball fields, hockey rinks and football fields will no longer be the same. Our hope is that Caelen’s memory will continue to be carried through this scholarship (3 x $2,000) in hopes of helping an individual reach their goals academically and athletically with mental health awareness.

Please submit your application to the Main Office Guidance Office on or before April 20th, 2024 at 3pm AST.

Applications can be found on the guidance website. (Scholarship tab----Scroll to the month of April 2024)
