The MHSAA dinner/auction was held at The Manor this year. The Manor is a wonderful setting for any special occasion and a perfect setting for our auction.We raised $24K this year for Mariner High School student scholarships. The MHSAA will award 4 each $1000 scholarships this June. The MHSAA also provides a cash award for the senior with the best attendance. Many thanks to Cindy Stienmetzer and the Mariner High School Cheerleading squad for checking in the evenings guests and showing them the areas. As is our custom we had two student Acheivers Scholarship recipients speak during the night. Rocio Martinez and Yonas Fikak spoke about their lives and ambitions. Rocio and Yonas are seniors at Mariner High School this year and gave emotional speaches that touched us all! April Bowman, College Success Foundation counselor spoke about the goals of the College Success Foundation and the need for mentors. Each scholarship recipient gets matched one to one with a mentor.
