A Tradition of Excellence in the Arts

The Oak Lawn Community High School Theatre Program has long been a cornerstone of creative expression for its students. To continue this tradition, we invite you to the annual event supporting the Raymond Metzger Strawberry Scholarship. This gathering serves as our primary means of securing the financial future for graduating seniors who have dedicated their high school careers to the stage and technical crew.

Investing in Student Success

By participating in this event, you are directly investing in the academic and artistic pursuits of our students. Your presence and contributions ensure that the financial barriers to higher education are lowered for those who have shown exceptional commitment to the theatre arts. Data from our previous years shows that scholarship recipients go on to pursue diverse fields, carrying the discipline and teamwork learned in theatre into their professional lives.

With your support, we can provide meaningful financial awards to deserving students this year. Every contribution made during the event goes directly toward the scholarship fund, making a tangible difference in a young artist's journey.

Support Our Mission

In honor of Ray's memory and his love for theater and speech the Raymond Metzger Strawberry Scholarship was created. This scholarship will celebrate Ray's beliefs in Joy, Togetherness, and Life's Adventure and celebrate current members of the Oak Lawn Theater and Speech programs who value these same ideals. Our goal is to help these students pursue their next adventure. This scholarship is open to active seniors who participate in the Oak Lawn Theater and Speech program.

We look forward to seeing the community come together to celebrate our students. Your generosity ensures that the Raymond Metzger Strawberry Scholarship remains a vital resource for the Oak Lawn Community High School Theatre Program. Join us as we invest in the next generation.
