Denise Lisac Scholarship

Denise Lisac was the kind of teacher most aspire to be.  She impacted students many times in many ways.  For some, that impact may have been in the classroom; for others, it may have been on the field, in the hallways, or even outside of school.  Denise helped shape many students and adults who came in contact with her and helped them become their best.  In recognition of the many students and staff she touched, this scholarship is a way to carry on her legacy for years to come.
