It is the hope of the committee that the recipients of the scholarships be student athletes who have shown potential to be a successful leader.

The Song Family Scholarship was established in 2011 in honor of Myung Song by the late Ki Taek Song. “Our family benefited greatly from living in the community of Mason City and both my brother and I are graduates of Mason City High School. We have both gone on to have careers in medicine first at the University of Iowa, then Seattle, Washington and Denver, Colorado,” said Kit Song in 2011.

The David and Joan Gibbs Science Scholarship was established to help support an MCHS student enrolled in a major university’s science, engineering or mathematics program. The United States has many outstanding universities with strong science programs, yet the US lags in students seeking science careers. With this scholarship we hope to encourage an outstanding MCHS graduate to pursue science training at one of these major institutions. The encouragement and support of the MCHS faculty given to David to seek the best education possible was instrumental in his career. We hope this scholarship can aid future generations of MCHS students achieve important scientific careers.

The Education Foundation honors distinguished past graduates to provide inspirational role models for students.

Norb Tatro, a MCHS graduate from the class of 1961, committed to fund this scholarship in honor of his parents and their commitment to education. In addition, Norb felt his family truly benefited from the education received in Mason City. Norb is a retired Chicago-based writer-producer who worked for more than 40 years — half of that time at NBC — as a broadcast journalist and journalism educator. He earned a B.A. from the University of Iowa and an MSJ from the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University.
