The Alyssa and Justin Haun Memorial Scholarship was established through The Highland Foundation for Educational Excellence as means to give back to the community that gave so much to the Haun family during the aftermath of their tragic deaths.
Alyssa Marie Haun and her brother Justin Trevor Haun passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on July 4, 2018. Alyssa was entering her Junior Year at Highland High School with aspirations to obtain advanced degrees in Chemical Engineering. Justin had completed his 8th Grade Year at Bedford Junior High School, in Temperance, MI and was planning to enter his Freshman Year at the Monroe County Middle College in
Monroe with a focus on Life Sciences. He planned to become a neurosurgeon. Alyssa was driven to succeed in her academic endeavors. She was a member of the National Honor Society, the Camerata Orchestra (violin), the Speech and Debate Team, the Cross-Country Team, the Robotics Team, the Girl Scouts, and the Toledo
Zoo Teen Program. Justin was very kind hearted. He was a member of the Cross-Country Team, the Orchestra (bass), the Robotics Team, and the Quiz Bowl Team (obtaining the County Championship Title). Both students had high expectations of changing the world in uniquely different ways. With their deaths, their parents have
made it their mission to make sure that through Alyssa and Justin, lives can still be changed.
