Scholarship Feature: The Lenny Moore Memorial Scholarship

The Lenny Moore Memorial Scholarship stands as a tribute to an extraordinary man whose life was marked by perseverance, faith, and a deep commitment to his community. Established to honor Lenny’s legacy, the scholarship seeks to reward Cuero High School seniors who exemplify his core values of leadership, academic 

excellence, and active involvement in their community.

Honoring Lenny Moore’s Legacy

Lenny Moore lived an inspiring life, one characterized by hard work, determination, and a dedication to service. A 1967 graduate of Cuero High School, Lenny was known for his kind heart and unique personality that left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered.

After high school, Lenny was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he served his country with distinction. During his time in the military, he earned several accolades, a testament to his discipline and commitment. Upon completing his service, Lenny transitioned to civilian life and began working for Southwestern Bell Yellow Pages in Houston. His natural drive and talent for sales quickly propelled him to the top, where he earned the title of the company’s number one salesman.

Despite his success in the big city, Lenny felt the pull of his hometown. He returned to Cuero to raise his family and establish his own business, a decision that showcased his devotion to his roots. Lenny became an active member of the community, giving back through various charitable avenues. His involvement extended to organizing charity golf tournaments, supporting the Boys and Girls Club, and participating in mission work through his church.

Lenny’s life was not without its challenges, but his faith in God and unwavering determination allowed him to overcome obstacles time and again. His personal motto, "never let your circumstances determine your success," became a guiding principle that resonated with those who knew him. 

The Lenny Moore Memorial Scholarship reflects this spirit, aiming to support students who share Lenny’s values of perseverance, leadership, and commitment to community.

The scholarship is awarded annually to Cuero High School seniors who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, good character, and community involvement—qualities Lenny exemplified throughout his life.
