On Thursday, May 16, 2024, Crete-Monee Alumnus, Amon Jamal Nickerson, presented 10 Crete-Monee High School Scholars from University Park with $2,500 scholarships each, which are renewable for 4 years. This is a $10,000 investment into each one of our scholars’ education. Mr. Nickerson went above and beyond, announcing before the event, that he received a last-minute donation, allowing him to raise the first payment to $3,000 per scholar, adding-on an additional $5,000 investment. As we celebrate the recipients of these scholarships, we are reminded of the profound impact that kindness and generosity have. The Nickerson Family's support will open doors for many of our students, allowing them to pursue higher education and reach their full potential. This is a shining example of how our alumni continue to embody the ‘Warrior’ spirit of Crete-Monee High School long after they have left these halls.
