Mahlon Rhaney
A newly-created scholarship celebrates the historic accomplishment of two Tallahassee students who were the first to integrate Florida High. It was initiated by Shauna Smith, a retired TCC professor and proud graduate of Florida High in Tallahassee.
"I came into Florida High about 3 or 4 years after Keith and Mahlon came and did their historic effort. I've been a graduate since 1972."
