Crete-Monee High School recently celebrated the generosity and dedication of its alumni during two special scholarship events. At Scholarship Night on May 15, 2025, Kimberly Esquivel—Class of 1996 and a Witherite Law Group employee—returned to present thirty-three $2,500 renewable scholarships for up to four years. Esquivel collaborated closely with the CMHS Guidance Department, helping students navigate the application and interview process. Then, on May 20, alumnus Amon Jamal Nickerson awarded seven University Park students $2,500 scholarships, renewable for four years, through the Nickerson Family Legacy Foundation—an investment of $10,000 per student. After hearing twin sisters Anaya and Ayana King share their powerful story about their mother’s battle with cancer, Nickerson made a surprise announcement: the foundation would fully fund both sisters' tuition at the University of Illinois Chicago. These events highlight the enduring Warrior spirit of Crete-Monee alumni, who continue to return, uplift, and invest in the future of their school community.
