BETHEL SCHOOL DISTRICT — It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Paul Greeley. Paul was a retired Bethel School District teacher (Bethel HS, Challenger HS, Spanaway Lake HS) and a Washington State Hall of Fame Wrestling Coach (Peninsula HS, Bethel HS, Spanaway Lake HS). Paul recently suffered a massive stroke, and, sadly, he could not overcome his injuries. 

Our condolences go out to the Greeley family. He will be greatly missed as evidenced by the prolific posts on the Bethel School District Memorial Facebook page.

A memorial service for Paul Greeley will be held this Sunday, Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. in the Bethel High School Gymnasium. 

A Paul Greeley Memorial Scholarship has been set up. Please consider a donation in lieu of flowers. Donations can be made to the BEST Scholarship Fund in Paul’s name toward funding the Paul Greeley Memorial Scholarship. A tax deductible receipt will be provided. College scholarship awards will be awarded to wrestlers continuing their education and wrestling careers after high school. Simply make checks payable to BEST and put Paul Greeley Memorial Scholarship in the memo line. Any amount would be greatly appreciated as we try to endow this award and continue Paul’s legacy and efforts in promoting both education and the great sport of wrestling.
