Honoring Students in Our Community of Lake Elsinore
The Lake Elsinore Community Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization that supports the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce Student of the Month and Student of the Year Program founded 32 years ago to honor college & trade school-bound seniors. The Lake Elsinore Program was founded in 1996 – as we begin our 28th season in 2023/24.
Participating Schools
Every month, we recognize eight (8) students from within the Lake Elsinore Unified School District (LEUSD). The schools include Elsinore High School (EHS), Temescal Canyon High School (TCHS), Lakeside High School (LHS), Ortega High School (OHS), & Keith McCarthy Academy (KMA).
8 Students Selected Each Month
There is one female and one male student from each of the Comprehensive High Schools (EHS, TCHS, & LHS) along with one male or female student from each of the other two (2) schools.
Scholarship Award
At the end of the school year, each monthly Student of the Month competes for a scholarship against Students of the Month from their campus. Eight (8) Students of the Year are selected for a Scholarship Award. Lake Elsinore Unified School District (LEUSD) Represents the three (3) Cities of Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, and Wildomar along with the unincorporated areas of Horsethief Canyon, Lakeland Village, and Meadowbrook with over 21,000 students enrolled.
Our Mission
The purpose of the corporation is to provide a local high school recognition program which will acknowledge and honor students for their character, their love of learning, commitment to academics: in addition to, their participation in athletics, school activites, community service: or the ability to preserve and overcome difficult life circumstances in a setting that honors God, Country, Family, Community, and Free Enterprise.
