RECCS is committed to supporting the post secondary education of students graduating from the Cherry Creek School District. We annually award scholarships in three categories: Merit, Adversity and Career or Technical Education.
The mission of RECCS is to provide scholarships to deserving graduates of the high schools in the Cherry Creek School District, while supporting the welfare and interests of retired Cherry Creek School District personnel.
