INFORMATION

JOHN FLEIS SCHOLARSHIP John Fleis graduated from La Crosse Central and then from UW-La Crosse. In 1945 he became a teacher and a high school coach in the Madison area. In 1959 he quit teaching and moved back to Onalaska where he started his own insurance agency. His love for sports and coaching led him to start the Onalaska Park & Recreation Department in the early 1960s. With the help of many volunteers, tennis, basketball, baseball and golf were some of the initial programs offered. After a few years of running the program with volunteers, the City of Onalaska took over and hired its first director. Upon John's death in 2009, the family established the John Fleis Youth Scholarship Fund for the Onalaska Park & Recreation Department to provide financial assistance for families of the community to participate in the Park & Rec programs.
