The Winslow Nichols Leadership Award

In communities across Montana, there are students who are not only high achievers, but are also making an impact in their communities. Maybe this exemplary student is a club president, volunteers at the local food bank, or organizes fund-raisers for those in need. We seek to honor and recognize the lives of high-achieving high school students who — through school activities, volunteer work, community service, or other initiatives — nurture healthier communities.

Over the course of the school year, in cooperation with local newspapers (Daily Inter Lake, Hungry Horse News, Whitefish Pilot, and Lake County Leader), we plan to recognize these top students and share their inspiring stories, via a quarterly series called The Winslow Nichols Leadership Award. The Winslow Nichols Leadership Award will profile a local high school student every quarter with a feature story about his/her achievements and his/her contributions to improving the health, comfort and lives of their fellow students and their community. Our students are our future. By recognizing students who make a difference, others may be encouraged to do the same.

Nominations will be evaluated quarterly by a selection committee. Each quarter, the selected student will be interviewed and photographed by a newspaper reporter, and the profile will be published in the local newspaper as well as on social media channels.

About Winslow Nichols

Winslow Nichols was one of our first winners of the award, previously called the Today’s Achievers, Tomorrow’s Leaders Award, winning the award in February 2020 as a junior at Columbia Falls High School. Tragically, Winslow passed away in June of 2022. Winslow personified the spirit of the award with his strong academic prowess and work ethic, his mentorship to his peers and his involvement in his community. The award was renamed to honor his memory at the start of the 2022 school year.
