I am not sure who all will agree but the name should be east Burke elementary with the royals mascot

Help name the new school. We are hoping to add a name to the options and go along with the middle and high school and get the new school called East Burke Elementary!

East Burke Youth Athletic Organization or better known as EBYAO established The Jim Jacumin Athletic Scholarship in loving memory of a dedicated pillar of our community. Jim Jacumin's life was defined by selflessness, compassion, and a tireless commitment to helping the youth and his community. To honor his legacy, this scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior who embodies these exact qualities and actively works to improve their community. We are proud to announce that the first recipient of this scholarship, 2026, is Hayden Lowman!

Hayden will be moving on to LR to continue her education and we can't wait to see where her future goes!

Congrats Hayden!

It was a very hard decision, with so many great applicants, that ultimately came to a tie breaker! We are so grateful to be able to give back to the community and appreciate each applicant for taking the time to apply!

Look for your seniors chance to win this scholarship next year!
