The McKenzie High School Alumni Association (MHSAA) proudly announces its 2026 MHSAA scholarship recipients. All scholarships are in the amount of $1000 each. This is the third year for MHSAA scholarships to be awarded, and they were presented by MHSAA President Betsy Hall Campbell (MHS Class of 1973) and Treasurer Lauren Hickman (2007) during the McKenzie High School Awards Day Program on May 8.
The winners were selected by the MHSAA Scholarship Committee, based on scholastic achievement and community involvement. Applicants were required to have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 21, and to plan to continue their education at either a college or vocational school. The 2026 graduates receiving alumni scholarships this year are: Brody Berryhill, Dylan Bomar, and Tobey Brooks.
Also awarded by the MHSAA was the Marilynn Holland Putman (‘59) Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship was established by the family of Mrs. Putman, who was Salutatorian of the MHS Class of 1959 and passed away this past November. The MHSAA thanks the Putman family for their generosity. The scholarship recipient this year is the Class of 2026 Salutatorian, Gracie Aird.
The MHSAA would like to thank the McKenzie High Class of 1979 for their support in fully funding one of the $1,000 scholarships in memory of their class sponsor and teacher Karen Webb Camp (‘60), who passed away in October of last year.
The MHSAA congratulates those receiving the scholarships as well as the entire McKenzie High School Class of 2026 on all of their remarkable achievements!
