May 2013: At our most recent Gathering of The Bears, a $1,000 scholarship was given to Marisa Rodriquez (AHS '13) in memory of the late Herbert 'Dean' Perry of the Arvin High School Class of 1965. Marisa will be attending CSUB in the fall and is planning on becoming a teacher. Marisa, her parents, and her two siblings were on hand to enjoy the evening and thank all the old Bears gathered there.
