Philanthropy Club
Perrysburg High School
Superintendent Thomas L. Hosler recently won the Martha Holden Jennings Outstanding Superintendent Award, which includes a $10,000 grant. The grant will be used for a deep learning experience through Perrysburg High School Philanthropy Club. The club provides students with an understanding and appreciation of philanthropy, including a grant-making lab. The Lisa Stocking Gruver ’95 Memorial Fund established the grant lab to promote philanthropic and community leadership in Perrysburg in a way that recognized her commitment to serve others and be a leader in her community.

PHS Philanthropy Club will give every dollar of the Martha Holden Jennings Superintendent Award away through the grant lab and, by doing so, they will continue to learn the power that giving has to change lives.

In the classroom, she is always giving her best effort, tries to problem-solve ways of working through difficult questions and situations and is extremely helpful with her peers. She is willing to help explain difficult math concepts to other students in terms that they are able to understand, giving them support without giving them just an answer.”

“I can always rely on Mallory to be a helping hand and a good friend to those in need,” Koval continued. “She exemplifies what it means to be a responsible student who follows each of the aspects of the Jacket Way on a consistent and daily basis. Mallory always comes to school with a smile and a positive attitude. She is extremely kind and caring towards others. Mallory is always willing to offer a helping hand. She is a leader through her actions, and we are so grateful that she is at Toth.”
