Alumni Association Scholarships for the 2017 MBSH graduating class were awarded this past May. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, there were a record number of award winners receiving scholarships. Below are some pictures from the assembly held to honor our Seniors.

Did you socialize and remember the good times with your classmates at the last mixer? The past event held at the Miami Shores Country Club was a night of food and fellowship with classmates, friends, and teachers. Keep in touch to make sure you know about the next event!

LENDING A HELPING HAND

On Wednesday, May 25th, 2016, the Miami Beach Senior High Alumni Association
awarded $41,500 in college scholarships to 22 deserving Beach High graduates. This is
the most money awarded in a given year by the association. Our school is fortunate to
have a network of generous alumni who are willing to give back. We are very happy to
have helped these students further their education in today’s challenging environment.
On behalf of our studentsand the association, I wholeheartedly want to thank our
donors, our fabulous Scholarship Committee of Arlene Amarant (Chair), Judi Katzen,
Alexa Rossy, PaulRuthfield, Linda Weitz, and Linda Zilber, and our Hall of Fame Chairs
