BRANNON
FAMILY
SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
These scholarships are given in memory of the Brannon Family
This scholarship is established in memory of the generations of Brannons that lived in Murphysboro and attended Murphysboro High School. James (Jim) Brannon that played football for MHS but passed away during his high school career, another that was the first of the family to attend and successfully complete college, and many others that completed technical/trade training. These experiences, and the high school community, had a large impact on the lives of the Brannon family. It is in this spirit that the Brannon Family scholarship has been established- to enable graduates to go on to successful post high school education and help enable them to make their goals and dreams a reality.
