The MHS Chiefs Foundation Inc – established in 2022 as a 501c3 public charity - has launched a new website (www.mhscf.org) and two scholarship opportunities for Class of 2023 McIntosh High students.
The MHS Chiefs Foundation Board of Directors is offering a $1000 scholarship and Mike Holmes, of Chick-fil-A, is offering a $500 Chick-fil-A 2nd Mile scholarship through the foundation. Applications for both scholarships may be found at mhscf.org and will be accepted through March 31, 2023. The scholarship awards will be announced at honors night.
The Foundation’s mission is to complement the endeavors of McIntosh High in developing, improving, supporting, promoting, and sustaining the enrichment and enhancement of educational opportunities and programs for all MHS students. The foundation will award scholarships for post-secondary studies to deserving students who embody traits including academic achievement, diligence, responsibility, sustained school and community involvement, selflessness, and a positive attitude. Funds will be raised through donations and sponsored events.
The MHS Chiefs Foundation is the first of its kind among Fayette County Public Schools.
The Foundation Board of Directors is led by former MHS principal Lisa Fine. The Secretary/Treasurer is Cele Eifert (Retired AF Lt. Colonel, MHS Hall of Fame Director and past MHS PTSO & Booster President). The current MHS principal Maggie Walls is also on the Board, as is Britte Hardy Aromashodu (MHS Hall of Fame 2019 and Nike Supervisor), Harold Baro (MHS Hall of Fame 2017 & Senior VP & General Mgr, Simos Solutions), Diane Basham (retired MHS teacher and former FCBOE member), Kelly Lyons (local retail sales and past MHS Basketball Booster parent), Gary Wood (retired VP Coca Cola Refreshments National Retail Sales and current Voice of the Chiefs), and Stephen Walker (Realtor - Berkshire Hathaway Home Services/GA Properties and current Director, National Association of Realtors and First Vice President, Georgia Association of Realtors).
