The impact of Dick England on CHEC and MCIP is profound and far-reaching. As a visionary leader, Dick’s unwavering commitment was instrumental in the creation of our current campus, a cornerstone of educational excellence that has empowered thousands of students to pursue their dreams. He spearheaded the capital campaign that brought this transformative space to life, elevating MCIP’s standing and shaping the future of our community. Dick’s leadership and dedication laid the foundation for a lasting legacy of opportunity and growth.
Even after Dick England’s passing on April 1, 2013, his legacy continued to thrive through the ongoing efforts of his wife, Lois (deceased), his children, Cathy (deceased), Nonie, and Rick, and his grandchildren, as well as the work of the England Family Foundation. Their continued commitment ensures that the values Dick championed—excellence in education, leadership, and service—remain at the heart of our mission. The England Scholarship, established by the family, honors a senior each year who exemplifies these same values, further extending Dick’s influence on future generations.
Dick England’s legacy is felt in every corner of our campus, where his vision for education and his dedication to service continue to inspire and guide us. His contributions not only built the physical spaces that house our programs but also instilled a spirit of generosity and excellence that will propel MCIP and CHEC forward for years to come.
