William Roy Keene Memorial Scholarship Fund
The William Roy Keene Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in July 2021 following the passing of beloved C. E. Byrd teacher William Roy Keene. Roy’s passion for history and teaching was never more evident than through his work as a teacher, mentor and friend at C. E. Byrd High School. Roy spent over 25 years educating students in Caddo Parish and many more hours volunteering following his retirement. To honor his memory, the William Roy Keene Memorial Scholarship Fund will provide an annual college scholarship for one or more graduating Byrd students.
