Needham B. Broughton High School Alumni Association

The Mial Williamson scholarship was established in 1988 with a gift by Mial’s brother, Bob, challenging Mial’s classmates from the Class of 1949.  The challenge was met within a few weeks, and the scholarship has been awarded since then.  It is an award that provides a monetary gift to a student who shows the qualities of leadership and athletics that Mial possessed.  Mial was president of the student body, co-captain of the basketball team, and served the school energetically throughout his high school years.

Mial also had four brothers who graduated from Broughton:  Carl ’37, Bailey ’40, John ’43, and Bob ’51.

In 2009 a deserving student, Molly Crenshaw, received $ 3,000 to further her education.
