Thank you so much to everyone who has been so supportive to our family in the past years. Your support helps us continue fighting for justice for Jay, to push for answers and to keep our hope alive as we struggle with living our lives without Jay. We hope you will take time to share your Jay stories, memories & pictures.
2025 DPHS Scholarship Winners
Jay believed in teamwork and leadership by example both on & off the playing field, & these students exemplify the qualities he valued.
Announcing this year's D.P.H.S. scholarship winners! The Jay Harper Memorial Fund was created in 2013 in Jay’s memory which raises money toward scholarships for DPHS graduating seniors.
Four very deserving seniors were awarded the Jay Harper Memorial Fund scholarships at Class Day this year. They were selected based on their academic, leadership and sportsmanship skills which were important core values to Jay. Many thanks to Tom Miller from DPHS for helping select seniors who exemplify Jay's values.
We wish our 2025 recipients great success in college and throughout their lives.
