A Class’s Legacy: The Ellisville High School Class of 1964 Scholarship Endowment
Posted 02/26/2025
For the Ellisville High School Class of 1964, the bonds of friendship have stood the test of time, growing even stronger long after their walk across the graduation stage. As graduates of the Ellisville High School campus— now Jones College— these classmates have maintained a deep and lasting connection, celebrating cherished memories and life’s milestones together throughout the decades.
In October 2024, they gathered once again, this time back on the Jones College campus, for their 60th class reunion. The occasion was not just a celebration of the past, but an opportunity to make an impact on the future. It was at this reunion that the Class of 1964 made a meaningful decision: to give back to the next generation of students by establishing an endowed scholarship fund through the Jones College Foundation.
Their commitment was evident during the 2024 Day of Giving, when this dedicated group visited the Jones College Foundation office and came together to rally support for the Ellisville High School Class of 1964 Scholarship. Their generosity and passion for education fueled their fundraising efforts, bringing them closer to their goal of providing lasting financial aid for students in need.
By February 2025, their vision had become a reality; the Ellisville High School Class of 1964 Scholarship reached its full endowment status. With $10,000.00 secured in the fund, future scholarships will now be awarded based on the invested returns from the fund’s performance, ensuring that their legacy of generosity will live on for generations to come.
The Jones College Foundation is honored to celebrate the incredible dedication of the Class of 1964. Their commitment to giving back exemplifies the power of community and the enduring impact of investing in education.
If you or your graduating class would like to leave a lasting mark on Jones College, consider establishing an endowed scholarship.
