The Committee to Support Central currently acts as a steward for the following scholarship funds.  These scholarships are each awarded annually to deserving C.C.H.S. students in order to assist them in their post secondary pursuits and objectives.
 

The John Westendorf Memorial Scholarship
Mr. John Westendorf taught Math and Physics at Aviston High School from 1958 until the consolidation of schools and Central Community High School came into existence.  In 1971, he began serving as the Librarian at C.C.H.S. until his tragic death in 1984.  A fund was established by his family and since 1984 a graduate of Central has received a scholarship award in his honor to reward academic achievement and service to the school.

The Blake Thole Memorial Football Scholarship
This scholarship was founded in 2009 and created by friends and family of Blake Thole for the purpose of celebrating his life and rewarding the hard work of a college bound Central Cougar Football player.  A deserving recipient who has excelled academically and athletically will receive an annual award that best carries on the legacy of Blake’s memory.

The “Silver Cougars” Education Scholarship
The members of the group known as the “Silver Cougars” include former faculty, staff, and board of education members who have retired from Central Community High School.  Each year, the individuals who belong to this group join together by making contributions to a fund that awards a scholarship to a C.C.H.S. graduate who plans to obtain a degree in education and pursue a teaching career.  The “Silver Cougars” hope that this contribution makes an investment for the educational profession by encouraging deserving graduates to go to college and become teachers.

The Kathy McCoy Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established by the family of Mrs. Kathy McCoy in 2010 following her death.  Mrs. McCoy was a Mathematics Instructor at C.C.H.S. for 23 years.  She taught various levels of Mathematics and also taught several courses for Kaskaskia College.  Her family established a scholarship to honor her memory and her love of teaching Mathematics by awarding a scholarship to a deserving C.C.H.S. student who excelled in this subject area. 

The Purple-Illini Scholarship
This scholarship was founded in 2009 among alumni of Central Community High School who have attended the University of Illinois.  Potential graduates and alumni of C.C.H.S. who are attending U of I are eligible for this monetary assistance.  The goal is to provide assistance to students residing in the community who are attending this prestigious institution.
