Soaring Eagle Scholarship
As support from our community has grown, so has the OGSEF’s ability to support our Oak Grove students as they move through elementary and junior high -- and even past high school. The Soaring Eagle Scholarship was created to support a deserving student in their post-secondary studies. This $1000 scholarship is open to graduating Libertyville High School Seniors who are Oak Grove Alumni.

"Oak Grove helped me soar by teaching me the value of supporting others without the need for direct recognition."
- Tucker Goebeler “Oak Grove changed my life from the first day of kindergarten, and prepared me for a successful life. I will never forget my Oak Grove family that engaged, empowered, and inspired me to become who I am today.” - Kierstin Thompson |
Tucker Goebeler Tucker attended Oak Grove from kindergarten through eighth grade and took his Oak Grove lessons to heart. While he is a strong leader both in the classroom and on the soccer field, what impresses us the most are his actions when no one is watching. Tucker created an anonymous foundation to financially support local kids in need, and the donations provide opportunities for kids to follow their athletic and academic dreams. In the fall, Tucker will continue his education at the University of Illinois where he was accepted into the College of Business. Kierstin Thompson Kierstin Thompson also spent 9 years at Oak Grove School and has a strong passion for nursing with a desire to become a neoonatal nurse in order to help premature and critically ill babies and their families. Her dedication and leadership skills enabled her to be the ambassador of her Certified Nursing Assistant Program at the College of Lake County’s Technology Campus. Kierstin will enter Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff Scholl of Nursing in the fall to continue her studies. |
