Jack Mabe and Clark Greene

The Kessler Scholarship was established with The Foundation at MCCC by Jefferson High School alumni to honor former longtime principal Ray Kessler. On March 9, 2015, Clark Greene (Jefferson High School class of 1964) and Jack Mabe (Jefferson High School class of 1968) created the Ray L Kessler Scholarship at MCCC.

Ray Kessler has 4 children: Jeff, Brad, Bob and Jill. Ray’s eldest son Jeff said “We can’t thank you and The JHS Nation enough for the compassion and appreciation we feel from this groundswell of support. It is highly emotional for us. This is an experience that is all new to our family. My father preached humility to us. One of his oft-used phrases was, “If you are really good, you don’t have to tell anyone.”
