E. James "Jim" Forssell

May 10, 1933 - December 25, 2012

The E. James Forssell Music Scholarship Fund was established in 1993 to help outstanding MHS music students who plan to pursue the study of music in college.

As a teacher, Jim's primary objective was to instill a love of music & this scholarship will, hopefully, help someone become a teacher of music
