FORT ATKINSON — The Fort Atkinson Community Foundation is pleased to announce the addition of a new scholarship fund to its portfolio. The Don Gruber Memorial Athletic Scholarship is now available to graduating seniors at Fort Atkinson High School, thanks to the kindness of the Gruber family and friends of Don Gruber.
The scholarship fund was established at the Foundation by the children of Don and Carol Gruber to memorialize and honor the contributions their father made to the many student athletes who graduated from Fort Atkinson High School. Don (1937-2023) was a longtime educator, varsity boys basketball coach and athletic director in the Fort Atkinson school district from the 1960s into the 1990s. As the varsity boys basketball coach at Fort high school, he amassed a 311-113 record with seven Badger Conference Championships, seven WIAA Regional titles and a State Tournament appearance in 1981. Coach Gruber was elected into the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and was an inaugural inductee onto the Fort Atkinson High School Athletic Wall of Fame.
