Today we remember the sacrifices that our armed services have made for our country. Today we remember..... Memorial Day. Thank you for all that you have done for your country. #Lakeland50 #WeRemember #MemorialDay25
The Joseph Paduchowski Memorial Scholarship was created on what would have been Joseph’s 17th birthday on March 8, 2024. Joseph lost his life in a tragic accident on December 3, 2023. Joseph was a part of the Lakeland High School Class of 2025. His family felt it appropriate to award 2 scholarships to deserving members of this year’s graduating class. This scholarship recognizes two graduating senior athletes from Lakeland High School who best exemplify the qualities that Joseph exhibited. Joseph was a friend to all. He was a loving brother, son, friend, coworker, and teammate. He loved people and loved life. He was a proud member of the Lakeland Eagles Varsity Football Team at Lakeland High School. Because of the generosity of friends, family, and the community, Joseph’s family hopes to be able to award this scholarship for many years to come.
Please congratulate Isabella Sutherby and Derek Varga for being the recipients of the inaugural Joseph Paduchowski Memorial Scholarships for the Class of 2025! His family knows he would be proud.

Alumni Spotlight! Gary Schell! Class of 2011! His favorite LHS memory is celebrating beating Milford football in overtime 32-31! After serving 5 years in the Marine Corps and obtaining my masters at Arizona State University, I went to work for the military defense industry as a senior security analyst. In 2021 I received a life changing diagnosis for Stage III metastatic cancer. I spent 2 years undergoing chemo and a tandem stem cell transplant. Cancer took a lot from me. My health but even more devastatingly my relationship. During my treatment I also went through a divorce and I hit what many people call "rock bottom". Through the help of my family, friends, and even other Lakeland Alums I was able to beat cancer, twice. I am now coming up on 3 years of being cancer free and am happily engaged. I currently serve as Chairman of the board for a nonprofit I founded called "The Home of Record Project" whose mission is to help house veterans who are going through crisis. I also started my own business working as a real estate investor with over $1 million of assets under management. Thank you for your service Gary! #Lakeland50
