The son of Elizabeth and James Crowley, Ethan plans to attend RIT in the fall where he will major in computer and political science and minor in finance.
The Elmer J. Cunningham Educational Award is a trust fund created by the will of the late Clara F. Cunningham in memory of her brother, Elmer J. Cunningham, who was the first principal of Lincoln School. He served in that capacity for more than a quarter of a century.
In accordance with the terms of the will, a scholarship award is made annually to the “member of the senior class who, being a graduate of Lincoln Grammar School, has the highest scholastic average for his or her high school work and is accepted at a college or school where he or she will continue his or her formal education.’’
Klock, whose GPA is 99.36 and is Valedictorian of the Class of 2026, will receive the award at commencement.
