History of Scholastic Anglers

During the 2002-2003 academic year, Parkwood Fishing was founded at Parkwood Middle School and is now in its 7th year of operation.  From such a humble beginning, interscholastic sport fishing experienced a surge in student-angler participation, growing support from the fishing industry and business partners, and increased inquiries from additional schools around the Parkwood area and beyond.  With this in mind, a new program was launched during the 2007-2008 academic year...Scholastic Anglers.  Based on the success of Parkwood Fishing, Scholastic Anglers was formed serving as a resource to promote interscholastic sport fishing to all interested schools.

Scholastic Anglers has come to the realization that interscholastic sport fishing has a unique niche in the overall education program at school.  Most importantly, it is the positive effect this new and exciting school sport has on the student-anglers that participate.

During the summer of 2008, Scholastic Anglers earned complete Federal IRS 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) status as a nonprofit organization.  Developed by teacher-anglers for student-anglers Scholastic Anglers is here to share ideas and information to ensure you and your school's interscholastic sport fishing success.
