Our goal

John Flynn taught over 1,000 students during his 38 years of teaching math at Jenkintown High School. John had the talent of being able to teach math to anyone and to teach according to his student’s ability. He valued his students on all levels, often helping out with personal issues. All of his students have fond memories of him and value him and his teaching. He was instrumental in enhancing the future careers of his students and improving their time at JHS. This fund will be used to support a scholarship that hopes to provide a lasting testimony to the life and legacy of John Flynn by supporting students who share his love of math. Our 2026 scholarship is now live, with an application deadline of 4/11/2026. We currently have 1 award for $500 funded and in place. Do you know anyone who is a senior at Jenkintown High School with an interest in Math? Encourage them to apply here: https://bold.org/scholarships/john-c-flynn-memorial-math-scholarship/
