What is the Doug Sibley Memorial Scholarship?

Helping Students

The Doug Sibley Memorial Scholarship is presented each year to one Paul Pewitt High School senior male athlete that exhibits the qualities and characteristics that former Pewitt coach Doug Sibley would have looked for and expected from his athletes. These qualities include hard work, dedication, desire, leadership, and a never quit attitude.  Several former scholarship recipients have been able to further their education beyond high school with the help of the Doug Sibley Memorial Scholarship.   ​

History of Doug Sibley

Where it started

Coach Doug Sibley and his family moved to Omaha, Texas from Kansas in the fall of 1980 and began coaching at Paul Pewitt High School.  He was the Defensive Coordinator for the varsity football team, the assistant varsity basketball coach, and the head high school track and field coach. Though Coach Sibley loved coaching, his true passion was being in the classroom and teaching.  He taught American History, Sociology, and Drivers Education.  He truly loved seeing his students learn and succeed. Sibley held this position for 22 years at Pewitt High School until he passed away on December 11, 2001 after suffering a massive stroke.
