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!
