As PE teacher at MHS, Mrs. Whisenant taught students not only the rules of basketball and softball, but also she helped students to develop a variety of movement skills for these activities. Like a drill sergeant, she stressed the importance of personal hygiene and inspected our white sneakers and navy blue gym clothes. Mrs. Whisenant also served as a counselor and advised students making academic and career plans. Recently, local NAACP chapter sponsored a “Beecher Whisenant Scholarship Luncheon” in Viera, Florida. At this event, some former students of Mrs. Whisenant talked about how she went the “extra mile” to help students fill out applications for admission and financial aid papers so that they could attend college.
To help this scholarship remain alive and lasting, Mrs. Whisenant has asked that donations be sent to the following address: Beecher
