Montabella Alumni Association Scholarship Fund

“MUSTANGS SUPPORTING MUSTANGS”

In 2017, the first graduating class of Montabella High School, Class of 1967, celebrated it’s 50th year. That momentous occasion led to the establishment of the Montabella Alumni Association. It was time to start to celebrate all Mustangs, past and present. A gathering of Mustangs happens every year, in June, during the Montabella Alumni Association Banquet, held at Montabella High School. All along, it was the hope of the Montabella Alumni Association to reach out to current Montabella students in the form of a scholarship.

This scholarship is our way of giving back to the community that played such an important part in our lives and supporting the future of our fellow Mustangs. Please consider donating to this worthwhile cause and this investment in the future of our fellow Mustangs.
