JWC Experiential Leadership Program
In memory of John W. Chapman II, his family and the Viking Legacy Foundation have established an experiential leadership program in his name to inspire and propel future leaders, scholars, and athletes. John served the Holmen community for decades as Village President and Village Board Trustee, invested heavily in the futures of all Holmen residents, and had an unmatched energetic belief in those he loved most. It was this fervent belief that propelled two kids from Holmen to the Naval Academy. The JWC Experiential Leadership Program gives rising Holmen High School Seniors a taste of life at the Naval Academy. This program enables one student per year to experience world class academic, athletic, and leadership training at the #1 Public University in the United States. Award recipients must exhibit academic achievement, strong leadership skills, and a desire for continuous self-improvement. The Chapman family plays a pivotal role in the selection process and connects the recipient with mentors from the local area and across the Nation.
