Florence High School is proud to announce the 2024 Tim Touchett Legacy Scholarship selection. The Tim Touchett Legacy Scholarship was established in 2015, in memory of former FHS graduate Staff Sergeant Tim Touchett who passed away in 2014 after complications from surgery meant to embolize an arteriovenous fistula that ruptured near his brain stem. Money is raised for this scholarship through an annual corn-hole tournament held every summer in Delavan, Wisconsin. Tim embodied what it means to be a servant-leader, and believed that through service to others, one can truly embark on a leadership role to motivate and inspire. His family offers this scholarship in the hope that this spirit will continue on through young people who share his mindset and deep commitment to the service of others. This year the Touchett family has awarded their $1500 scholarship to Joseph Holmstrom. Joey is the son of Rich and Jody Holmstrom of Homestead, WI. Joseph has represented FHS on the football field, earning second team all conference linebacker as a senior and honorable mention as a junior. As part of the 2023 Bobcat State Champion football team, he was recognized as career tackling leader for 8-man football. In the classroom, Joey has earned Academic High Honors while playing three sports in grades 9-11, and maintained a 3.5 GPA. He was awarded SACA Silver Certification for both Programmable Controller Systems 1 and Pneumatic Systems 1. Joey plans to attend NWTC Green Bay to pursue an associate degree in Automation and Engineering Technology.
Please join the Florence County School District, Family and Friends on May, 20th by the High School Concession stand for the unveiling of a memorial plaque for Leigh Johnson. This will take place at 4:40 PM prior to the Bobcat's game against Wausaukee that starts at 5:00 PM. Leigh was an important part of Florence Baseball for many years.
