Ross Hibler and Jeanne Wood Hibler Family Scholarship Fund

Jeanne and Ross graduated from EHS in 1960 and 1959, respectively. Several others in their families were also graduates of EHS including Dianne Wood (1959), Gary Hibler (1961), Lee Hibler (1963), and David Isaacson (1962), and many others in their extended family. Jeanne and Ross’ Humboldt roots were strained by Ross’ 25-year service in the US Navy, but Eureka California was always the answer to the inevitable question “Where is your home?” The importance of education was stressed in their family, along with strong personal perseverance of their children. Ross Jr, Lyle, and Claire graduated from the California university system schools (HSU and UCSB). We as a family believe that our society needs, and will increasingly require, educated citizens in the future. The cost of not developing individual talents will be paid by our society. These scholarships are our effort to find and develop these talents, which might otherwise be unrecognized and underdeveloped, for the betterment of society.
