The Bearcat Foundation continues to pursue our goals of partnering with MHS with assistance in areas of equipment, facilities and supplies. Thanks, to our members and supporters, BFI has gifted over $435,000 to Mena High Since 2007. A very important part of our mission is to provide a scholarship for students at Mena High and today we are happy to present the BFI scholarship for the 9th year. The Foundation scholarship differs from others in that it is scored and judged on a blind basis. All applicant’s names, family names, and commonly identifiable accomplishments are omitted from the application once received in an effort to eliminate any possible bias in the scoring process. The applicants are scored based on academic achievement, community involvement, extracurricular achievement and the compelling nature of the essay that is written for the scholarship. The committee is anonymous and does not consist of any foundation board members. All scoring is done separately by each member of the committee. The scholarship is $2,000 per student. It is my honor and the honor of every member and supporter to announce that the winners of the Bearcat Foundation Scholarship for 2020 are Mr. David Grenier and Mr. Marc Wilson.

With current restrictions of gatherings, we know that holding our 2020 prom and graduation events at their originally scheduled dates is not possible. We are not canceling these events, but are not yet able to set dates. The health, safety, and welfare of our community and our students are top priority at this time. Our intentions are to still hold the 2020 Junior/Senior Prom and the 2020 MHS Graduation once clearance is permitted from state and national leaders. Please continue to follow our Facebook page and your child’s individual campus page for updated information.
