The Lake Brantley High School Athletic Boosters are proud to announce the guidelines for the 2024 James M. Sprinkle Memorial Scholarship. Jim Sprinkle became president of the Lake Brantley High School Athletic Boosters in 1989 and served for ten consecutive years. He spearheaded the planning, financing, fund raising and building of Jim Sprinkle Aquatic Center and the adjoining fieldhouse as well as investments in other sports infrastructure including irrigation and practice fields. At the same time, the Athletic Boosters continued to provide financial support for every team representing Lake Brantley High School. During Jim Sprinkle’s time as president, the Athletic Boosters raised millions of dollars and made the Lake Brantley campus athletic facilities a model of excellence. Jim Sprinkle’s vision, leadership and tireless hard work inspired Lake Brantley parents and the entire community to join the mission to make our school second to none. Lake Brantley students and the entire community will practice, gather and compete for many decades to come in facilities that came to be because of Jim Sprinkle’s dedication.  The Lake Brantley High School Jim Sprinkle Scholarship is a tribute to his legacy. It also stands as a challenge to all who follow him at Lake Brantley High School.
