The Highland Park Education Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of the Super Scot Society in memory of our very own Super Scot, Chuck Lingo Smith, HPHS Class of 1983. 

Chuck Lingo Smith became famous as the “Super Scot” for Highland Park High School in the early 1980’s. “On a weekly basis at Friday morning pep rallies, his child-like enthusiasm and unapologetic team spirit would fan the competitive fires of students and athletes alike,” describes Jim Castellaw. “Dressed in his traditional HP helmet, cape and tights, he ran onto the gym floor to do battle with the mascot of that week’s opponent.” He demonstrated the epitome of enthusiasm, spirit and love for his school. Upon his death in 2016, Chuck gifted a generous donation from his estate to the Highland Park Education Foundation to help further the work of the Foundation and the HPHS Alumni Association.  His gift continues to send a message of support of education and Scot-spirit throughout the community and among the alumni of Highland Park.
 
The Super Scot Society is now established in this inaugural year, 2019, to recognize the thoughtful foresight of those who embrace Chuck Lingo’s spirit of generosity and commitment to the Foundation’s future by making certain planned gifts today.
