🏆 ANNOUNCING THE MV SPORTS LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP

At MV Sports, we've had the privilege of covering thousands of student-athletes throughout the Mahoning Valley. We've witnessed incredible performances on the field, but we've also seen something even more important — leadership, character, perseverance, and the willingness to help others succeed.

That's why we're proud to introduce the MV Sports Leadership Scholarship for the Class of 2027!

This scholarship was created to recognize student-athletes who use the lessons learned through sports to lead with character, inspire others, and create greatness beyond the game. The scholarship will be awarded to one male and one female student-athlete who demonstrate leadership, integrity, selflessness, and a positive impact on those around them.

If you're a graduating senior from one of our participating schools, we encourage you to apply. More details throughout the year.

We launched our first in-school Dirty Soda Day today! Our seniors helped mix up the drinks, and they were delivered to students during BluePrint. 💙🤍

A fun little way to add something different to the school day, and our seniors made some pretty great soda makers! 😎🥤

Thanks to everyone who helped make our first Dirty Soda Day a success! We’ll definitely be doing this again! 💙

Shoutout to our 7th and 8th grade Career Connections classes for an awesome hands-on learning day with the YSU Excellence Center! 🦚✨

Our students got to build their own fiber optic peacock lights and even learned how to splice real fiber optic cables. It was a fantastic experience, and MHS can’t wait for more partnerships with the YSU team in the future! ⚡🔬
