Fellow Cougars,
This morning, we had the pleasure of welcoming the four recipients of this year’s Cougar Alumni Club (CAC) Scholarship awards. Pictured from left to right with CAC President Dave Graves are Bianca Medina, Mia Baltazar, Allison Ortmeier, and Nicholas Medina.
Each of the scholarship recipients introduced themselves to the club and shared their unique experiences at Escondido High School, along with their plans for college and the future. They reflected on some of their most memorable moments at EHS, discussed their favorite classes, and spoke about the challenges they faced and overcame during their high school journey. It was clear to all that these four student-athletes represented themselves and the Orange and Black exceedingly well and are entirely deserving of their awards.
Dave Graves also shared highlights from the life of Bob Wilson, EHS Class of ’49. Bob did well in business (real estate and restaurants), and this allowed him to shift his primary focus towards philanthropy. He was a generous benefactor of the CAC and countless other charitable and worthwhile causes. Bob passed away in 2022, and the Wilson family has continued his legacy of charitable giving.
The Cougar Alumni meets quarterly and has a charter to raise funds and provide scholarships for graduating EHS seniors, as well as to foster fellowship among EHS alumni. We hope to see you soon at one of our events.
Loyal, Strong & True.
