OSSBA and CCOSA are proud to present the 9th Annual Dr. Bob Mooneyham Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament. Throughout Mooneyham’s career, he served as an education leader, working as a teacher, coach, counselor, superintendent and professor. His numerous contributions to Oklahoma education were recognized with honors including the Oklahoma Educators’ Hall of Fame, OEA Friend of Education, Keepers of the Dream Award, UCO Outstanding Alumni, Holiday Texas Outstanding Alumni, 75 Who Made a Difference in the OU College of Education, and Okemah Hall of Fame. Dr. Mooneyham became executive director of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association in 1975 and advocated for Oklahoma public education from this position for 25 years. Mooneyham was a co-founder of the Oklahoma Education Coalition and served the National Rural Education Association until his retirement in 2006. From the capitol to the classroom, he was a respected and caring professional who made a difference in the lives of students across the state.
Mooneyham, who passed away in 2012, is honored annually with the OSSBA Bob Mooneyham Memorial Golf Tournament. Proceeds from past and future tournaments are used to fund a scholarship in his name. We appreciate the many OSSBA members who support the golf tournament each year

Her extracurricular activities include basketball, cross country and track. She volunteers with the United Way Day of Caring, Fostering Hope, the Checotah Nursing Center, Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign, Special Olympics and many other worthy causes.
The tournament kicks off the Education Leadership Conference and is a fun and relaxing experience that provides an opportunity for school board members, school administrators and district employees and representatives from the business community to get together, network and establish relationships that will benefit public schools.
