Elijah Smith ’24, Recipient of the Coach Bill Stewart Jr. Scholarship Playing for a Career in Sports Management

Recently, EHSA staff checked in with EHSA Coach Bill Stewart Jr. Scholarship recipient Elijah Smith ’24.  Elijah is currently studying at Bunker Hill Community College.  A member of the English High basketball team, Elijah and has set his sights on Sports Management.

Elijah credits his time at English High with preparing him for college, noting that many of the courses he took in high school align with his current studies. With a solid foundation, his transition to college has been smooth. He also made great use of the Alumni & Friends Tutoring Center, which helped him push through difficult assignments when he needed extra support.

Today, Elijah is focused on his studies and making the most of his college experience. His advice for current English High students is simple but powerful: “Lock in on your education.”

All English High alumni are excited to see where Elijah’s journey takes him and wish him continued success at Bunker Hill Community College and beyond.
