The Douglas County School District's Legacy Campus provides pathways for high school students to explore career and technical education, often while gaining college credit. However, this education can involve additional fees and costs for supplies. The Rotary Club of Parker contributed $5000 for scholarships for high school students to take part in Legacy's offerings. Those funds were matched by the Metzler Family Foundation in partnership with the Foundation for Douglas County Schools, resulting in a total of $10,000 to support scholarships for high school students. Thank you to the sponsors of the Rotary Club of Parker for helping make this possible!
