This scholarship is tailored for a student who embodies the spirit of dedication and compassion toward the South Kitsap Community, echoing the principles that Larry Harris himself held dear.
Larry Harris was a pillar of our community, a beacon of hope and inspiration for those around him. He understood that true prosperity stems not only from individual success but from collective efforts to uplift and support one another. His belief in the transformative power of service and volunteerism was unwavering, and he dedicated his life to making a difference in the lives of others.
For Larry Harris, education was not just a privilege but a fundamental right that every student deserved. He recognized the potential within each young mind and the pivotal role education plays in shaping the future of our community. Through this scholarship, we honor his legacy by ensuring that deserving students have the opportunity to pursue their academic aspirations and make a positive impact on the world around them.
The essence of Larry Harris’s philosophy lies in the idea that our community thrives when its members actively engage in service and volunteerism. It’s about more than just lending a helping hand; it’s about building connections, fostering empathy, and creating a sense of belonging for all. Whether it’s tutoring local students, organizing community clean-up events, or volunteering at a soup kitchen, each act of service contributes to the greater good and leaves a lasting impression on those it touches.
By recognizing and supporting students who demonstrate a commitment to serving the South Kitsap community, we not only honor Larry Harris’s memory but also inspire others to follow in his footsteps.
