TYNGSBOROUGH — Superintendent Jill Davis is pleased to share that Greater Lowell Technical High School students from the Metal Fabrication and Joining Technologies Program, Automotive Collision Program and Carpentry Program worked with the Officer Sean A. Collier Memorial Fund and received scholarships and tools from the fund. 
This past June, Collier Fund Executive Director Richard Sullivan, along with Joe Rogers, the stepfather of Officer Collier, visited the school to provide $500 scholarships and tools to six students who have worked collaboratively with the fund.
For five years now, Greater Lowell Technical High School students in the Carpentry, Metal Fabrication and Automotive Collision programs have made plaques and benches for the Collier Fund’s annual golf tournament using the skills they have learned in their shops to benefit a community organization. 
This year’s golf tournament will honor Waltham Police Officer Paul Tracey and National Grid worker Roderick Jackson, both of whom were killed in a Dec. 6 crash at a construction site in Waltham. The bench, created by students, will be displayed at the tournament and then donated to the Waltham Police Department. 
This year, Sullivan and Rogers visited the school to thank the students for their work, provided them with a pizza lunch and awarded scholarships to seniors Ayden Young and Guillermo Montijo, in Carpentry, seniors Lucas Dagg and Keller Whitton, in Metal Fabrication, and seniors Jaimien Diaz and Shayne Kerrigan in Auto Collision. 
“We strongly felt the need to show our appreciation to the students and instructors for the outstanding work they have done for us,” said Richard Sullivan. “I feel it’s important to make sure the work these students do is acknowledged. It is our goal to carry on this event each year.”
“I am incredibly proud of these students for applying the technical skills they’ve acquired to support the Officer Sean A. Collier Memorial Fund and give back to the community,” said Superintendent Davis. “Their efforts truly highlight the importance and impact of a career technical education.”
The Officer Sean A. Collier Memorial Fund is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization established in memory of MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, who was killed in the line of duty on April 18, 2013, in the aftermath of the attack on the Boston Marathon. The Memorial Fund seeks to carry on Officer Collier’s deep personal and professional commitment to service, connection, and support for others. The Fund awards grants to local public police departments and non-profit groups to support the development and implementation of community programs designed to build connections between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
