Annual Fox Lane Social Studies Scholarship
PRHS is proud to announce the launch of its first annual Fox Lane Social Studies Scholarship, created to celebrate a Fox Lane High School senior who has demonstrated a strong passion for social studies.
This scholarship is open to any Fox Lane senior who exhibits academic excellence, active participation in social studies, involvement in related clubs or extracurricular activities, and a commitment to community service.
PRHS is excited to partner with the Fox Lane Social Studies Department to recognize a student who exemplifies a deep appreciation for history, civics, geography, economics, or another social studies discipline. We look forward to honoring a student whose interest and dedication to a social studies discipline reflects an appreciation of the connection between the past and present as well as a commitment to civic engagement.
