Chris Inscho Memorial Scholarship

chris-inscho-2 For more than three decades, Chris Inscho was a dedicated math teacher who helped students develop strong math skills and important life skills. Knowing she was making a positive impact in the lives of others was very important to her.  jiminycricket

 

One of her many students wrote of her classroom memories, “Mrs. Inscho was a treasure among educators. She possessed a genuine concern for the education of her students. The high standard of morality maintained in her classroom was a breath of fresh air. Mrs. Inscho was a fan of Disney’s Jiminy Cricket. We believe that she liked this character because of his advice, ‘Let your conscience be your guide.’ When I was her student there was a poster in the front of her room featuring the word INTEGRITY. Her emphasis on student honor and zero tolerance for cheating continue to impress me, especially in a world in which honesty seems to be losing popularity.”
