New Holstein School District Community Fund New Holstein High School Alumni Scholarship

Background:

In the summer of 1987 a long-time counselor at New Holstein High School, David Ditter, began writing letters to past graduates hoping to start an alumni scholarship fund. The response was overwhelming making it possible for the establishment of a permanent fund that awards scholarships each year. Graduates of New Holstein High School continue to support this worthy cause.
