East Wake Alumni Helping East Wake Students Chase Their Dreams
Honoring The Legacy Of
Coach Miriam “Strick” Strickland
Miriam touched the lives of hundreds of East Wake faculty and thousands of students during her more than three decades of dedicated service to East Wake High School. Coach Strickland's life was tragically cut short in March and her family and friends are working to raise funds for The Coach Miriam Strickland Memorial Scholarship. The Scholarship will serve two main purposes.
First, to purchase a bronze plaque to mark the rededication of the East Wake High School gym as the Coach Miriam C. Strickland Gymnasium.
Second, to fund an annual Scholarship to be named, The Coach Miriam Strickland Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded to a deserving senior female athlete who has demonstrated both strong character as well as outstanding academic potential.
Finally, the goal of YOUR East Wake High School Alumni Association is to raise $10,000 or more by Labor Day 2023!

The East Wake High School Alumni Scholarship Foundation is a collection of East Wake HS student and teacher alumni who have joined forces to help current East Wake HS students pursue their life and career dreams. The foundation exists to provide this support in the form of annual scholarships and an alumni mentorship program.
Foundation Treasurer, Paul Fitts tells how it all got started.
Our goal is to award two $5000 scholarships to two very deserving students each year. We are just getting started! Thanks to the amazing East Wake Community, the foundation has raised $95,000 to date.
