Scholarships

 The Achiever Scholarship was established by the LCHS PTA to provide financial aid to students who are not necessarily at the top of their class, may not have other scholarship opportunities, and who sought to overcome academic or personal challenges during their pursuit of excellence at La Cueva. Students must be nominated by a LCHS teacher or fellow student.

Allen Krumm was La Cueva’s first principal. A seasoned veteran of APS, Mr. Krumm was appointed by Superintendent Lillian Barna to open the district’s eleventh high school in 1986. Prior experience included posts as principal of Highland and Del Norte high schools and Director of High School Instruction for the East Area. 

Upon Allen Krumm’s retirement in 1989, a scholarship was established in his name to be awarded annually to a graduating senior. This idea originated from Mr. Krumm’s “Principal’s Award,” which recognized a student who demonstrated a potential to succeed and had a financial need. The La Cueva Parent Teacher Association has assumed the responsibility for raising the scholarship funds and for implementing the selection process.

The application for the 2023-2024 school year can be found below. The application deadline is 2:30pm Friday, March 29, 2024.
