Clyde Sailer Memorial Scholarship

Clyde A. Sailer taught at Williston High School for 34 years. His last eight years he served as the Athletic Director. In 2000 he was named Athletic Director of the year. Besides teaching, Clyde spent many years having his own painting business. It was a business that required no advertising as his work spoke for itself.

Clyde was an avid sportsman. He loved both hunting and fishing and was so proud to have taken his sons to both Alaska and Canada to fish.

Clyde’s legacy will live through the minds of numerous students whose math skills he helped foster, through the peaceful moments remembered by those privileged to spend a quiet day on the lake with him fishing, through the strong bonds of friendship formed over a cup of coffee and a game of cards, through the specially-crafted items that can be found in the homes of many family and community members, items which exhibit not only Clyde’s novel ideas and fine skills, but also evoke that unique sense of joy and excitement he felt crafting these special items, and most of all, through his immense abundance of faith in God.

Scholarship Amount: $1000
