he Madison High School Alumni Association (MHSAA) is pleased to
announce the provision of a very special scholarship in memory
of Bill “Bull” Cartwright (MHS ’62). Bill’s siblings: (Bobby MHS
’65), Jimmy (MHS ’69) and Rose Marie (MHS ‘70) are funding an
annual $1,000 scholarship, separate from the traditional MHSAA
scholarships, to go each year to a deserving high school senior
who exemplifies the characteristics of their brother (a
friendly, caring, compassionate, courageous, ambitious and
achievement-oriented school leader).
In addition to being a “good guy” and friend to all, Bull
lettered all four years in track and football. As captain of the
football team his senior year, he was selected to the “All-AAA,”
“All-City,” and “All-State” teams, honored as the “Lineman of
the Year,” and listed (Honorable Mention) to the “All-Southern”
team. Bull went on to play the tackle position all 4 years at
the University of Memphis.
In addition to his athletic endeavors while at Madison, Bull was
a Class Officer, Prom Committee Chairman, Student Council
Representative, voted “Best All-Round,” and named a Civitan
Medalist.
We encourage you to go to the “Bill (Bull) Cartwright
Scholarship” page (under the “Awards” section of this website)
for additional information, including past recipients of the
Bill “Bull” Cartwright Scholarship.

This is the singing of Madison
High School Alma Mater at a
final assembly program for
friends, alumni, faculty, and
the Madison Community. The day
was Sunday, May 5, 1985. This
was the conclusion of a program
featuring former school
administration and school board
officials. The Madison High
building was closed and later
reopened as a middle school. For
all of us that passed through
the doors at Madison we hold
some special memories. Our
neighborhood high school was
taken away but will always live
in our hearts as a great place
to grow up, fun times with
friends, and dedicated teachers
who really cared.
