Dane Oelrichs was the recipient of the 4th annual Kathryn Spore Memorial Scholarship at the 2025 graduation ceremony at New Haven High School. Dane is the son of Wendy Scheer and Russel Oelrichs.
The Kathryn Spore Memorial Scholarship was founded in honor of longtime English and history teacher at New Haven High School (NHHS), Kathryn Spore. In August 1965, Mrs. Spore moved to New Haven High School, where she taught until May 1997. For Kathryn, teaching was not a profession, but a passion. Her great desire to bring literature, music, and American history alive to her students is perhaps her greatest legacy, akin to addition to her singular personality and enthusiasm. Each student who went through NHHS during Kathryn’s teaching tenure was impacted by her. She is – a Shamrock legend.
Dane was involved in the New Haven Shamrocks Marching Band, National Honor Society, Future Business Leaders of America, served as the manager for the Cross Country and Baseball teams, and participated in athletics himself as a member of the New Haven Basketball team.
Dane will continue his education at the University of Missouri – Columbia, MO, while pursuing a Bachelor of Statistics with aims to obtain a career in Sports Analytics.
