"Seek the truth in things, because it is what it is...and when guys seem out to get you, try to just forgive."
Eli Goss 17:33
"Eli lived a very passionate life. He put his whole heart into everything he did. To his mother and sister, his strong love and devotion was constant. To his friends he was always a reliable and loyal, confidant, ready to listen and encourage no matter the circumstance. As a student, classmate and teammate he was especially cherished. His positive attitude was refreshing to everyone around him, and in times of tension or frustration, Eli had a very influential character..." -United Christian Academy, Yearbook Dedication, 2010/11.
"We all have a lot of the same classes and we all have to show up every day...some of us play sports and work and we can't just study all the time. Everybody works hard to make it through school and have a life with friends...but it seems like the same students get all the awards." - Eli Goss, 2010
The annual fund raising by the UCA Parents Association and the NCUHS Student Forum combined with the kindness of a small community sustains the Eli Mission to broaden the horizon for scholarship opportunities.

NCUHS Student Forum donates funds for UCA Scholarships, 2011
In 2011, the students of NCUHS created the First Annual Eli Goss Ice Fishing Tournament on Lake Seymour and raised scholarship money for Eli's graduating class at UCA. It is with great love and appreciation that the Eli Goss Scholarship is now offered annually to graduating seniors at both UCA and NCUHS for their unselfish loyalty to their friend Eli Goss.
Recognizing students who do more than study...Students who care about other students, teammates, family and friends.

Support from the community held strong in 2014, with the help of local news and radio, along with the rallying of towns people to buy tournament logoed shirts to support the ELI Legacy. This solidified the Eli Goss Memorial Ice fishing Tournament as an annual charity representing the giving hearts of the whole community. Attendance and fund raising doubled the previous year. Five awards were given and a surplus of funds were banked for 2015.
