Honoring a Legacy of Leadership, Excellence, and Opportunity for Mayfield Graduates
The Jack & Joe Morris Endowed Scholarship celebrates the extraordinary legacy of two of Mayfield High School’s most influential coaches — a father and son who shaped not only winning teams, but character, leadership, and lifelong success. Their commitment to athletes and students created a tradition of excellence still felt in Mayfield and beyond.
This scholarship will provide $1,000 (or more) annually to a graduating Mayfield High School senior pursuing higher education at Murray State University, supporting both academic achievement and community commitment.
