Plumbing Scholarship

Andy Fleming (the 'Andy' in Normandy) taught at the Peterson School for nearly 30 years.  He created our plumbing program, and spent countless hours developing curriculum and helping students in any way he could.  He has been instrumental in the growth of the school over the years, in trade areas beyond our plumbing program.  This scholarship will be awarded to the student that best exemplifies Andy’s greatest traits – the highest standard of excellence and a demonstration of hard work.

This scholarship will be awarded to two Peterson School students who are registered for a Plumbing Tier class (Tiers II, III, IV or V) in the 2022 Fall semester. Each $1000 scholarship will be applied towards the tuition of the class and has no cash value.
