Martin J. Kirwan Memorial Scholarships

*Last Scholarships Awarded during the 2023-2024 School Year*

In tribute of Mr. Marty Kirwan, our beloved physical education teacher, The Kirwan Family established and funded a scholarship in his name.

Until till 2024, Stone Bridge High School Seniors, who were Sanders Corner Alumni, were invited to submit a scholarship application.  The Kirwan Scholarship Committee reviewed these applications and awarded two, or more, $1,000 scholarships in Mr. Kirwan's honor. 

Marty Kirwan was a Physical Education Teacher at Sanders Corner Elementary School for 9 years. He was a vibrant and funny man who brought joy and laughter to the gym every day. Mr. Kirwan was always willing to try something new and was not afraid of failure. During his life, he was a shampoo boy at a salon while in high school, a busboy at a restaurant, worked various construction jobs, was a physical therapy aide, recruited people for a tech firm, and eventually earned his degree and found the job he truly loved as a PE teacher. And there was always a good story behind each experience.
