Congratulations to all of these SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS..must say it was said that the applicants get better each year..just wish BPHS could have given all the applicants who applied, a monetary scholarship..FYI..The LYNDA MINCHEW SCHOLARSHIP AND THE LOUIS CRABTREE SR. scholarship is funded by the individual families and administered by BPHS..if any of you would like to set this in play,contact CRAIG EXNER,PRESIDENT at the BP COMMUNITY CENTER 850 587 5389.
Very proud of you son on this honor and proud of my niece Kylee on hers. And thank you to the supporters of Barrineau Park Historical Society for making this possible. For those who have not visited, I encourage you to do so. The museum is very rich in history including a lot of interesting information and memorabilia on J.M. Tate High School.
