Estes Park Pride Awards

 

 

The annual Estes Park Pride Awards allow the Town of Estes Park to recognize outstanding citizens for their efforts and time spent giving back to the community.  Community members are honored in the following categories:  Teacher of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and Business Person of the Year.  In 2007 the Estes Park High School (EPHS) Student Pride Scholarship was awarded to recognize a graduating EPHS senior who put forth exceptional effort as a volunteer or participant in community service projects.  Residency within the town limits is not required; anyone in the Estes Park area may nominate or be nominated for an Estes Park Pride Award.  Past award recipients are:

Estes Park High School Student Pride Scholarship:  The student chosen as the recipient of this scholarship must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and demonstrate outstanding service to the Estes Park community.  Elements considered are:  number of citizens affected, scope of personal involvement, number of hours dedicated, and uniqueness of the student’s effort.  This scholarship will be included on the high school’s local scholarship application and will require the student to include a comprehensive account of community service and volunteer efforts.
