Joe Pajac Scholarship 2019
       Joe Pajac was an OLCHS Spartan Booster Club parent and the father of two Spartans in the 1990s and early 2000s. Anyone who had kids in Oak Lawn or attended an OLCHS event knew who he was. You could see Joe stocking, cleaning, and cooking at football, tennis, and basketball concessions. He was even known for grabbing his friend, Dennis, and heading to the forest preserve to hold concessions for the Oak Lawn Cross Country athletes and other schools. During his time at Oak Lawn, he touched many lives and created many bonds with parents, students, and faculty. He was a softie when it came to kids short on money. So many times he came home with empty pockets himself. Whether it was waiting at the concession stand to encourage a team after a tough loss or embarrassing his daughter to get a good laugh, Joe was the true example of what an "Oak Lawn Spartan Booster" was.
       When Joe passed away in 2001, his family felt so deeply about his dedication to OLCHS, they decided to bury him in his Oak Lawn Spartan Booster Club t-shirt. The Booster Club truly felt that Joe exemplified the true meaning of "Once a Spartan, Always a Spartan" and made the decision to name our scholarships after him.
