BILL SCHNASE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
DUE DATE FOR THIS SCHOLARSHIP IS: February 1st
William "Bill" Schnase, a teacher and coach at Millard High School and Millard North High School for nearly 30 years, positively
impacted the lives of so many students and colleagues. His love for life could be seen in his ever present smile, irrepressible sense of
humor and words of encouragement to all. The long time teacher, coach and veteran of the United States Army developed champions,
scholars, leaders and humanitarians. His ability to teach and reach students and student athletes was a gift that he shared in the classroom,
on the field and in life. One of his many favorite phrases will forever be heard echoing through the classrooms, tracks, football fields and
our minds - "it's a great day to be alive!" Bill's legacy will live on through a scholarship program for students and a grant program for
teachers - both to be administered through the Millard Foundation.
