HISTORY OF THE SCHOLARSHIP

In 2017, Lumberton High School alumni Matthew Gray and Matthew Priest met to discuss ways to give back to the various communities that have made them successful professionals. Lumberton High School was one of the first of these communities for the various roles and responsibilities it allowed both individuals to undertake, not only as students but also through athletics and student organizations. As such, Mr. Gray and Mr. Priest decided to launch The LHS Endeavor Scholarship and award the first scholarship in the amount of $5,000 at the 2018 Lumberton High School Senior Awards night.
