Miamisburg Schools Education Foundation - Joe Idzakovich Memorial Scholarship

The Miamisburg Schools Education Foundation (MSEF) created this scholarship in memory of Joe Idzakovich in 2023. Joe was the President of MSEF for 19 years. Joe was active in the community and passionate about creating new opportunities for students. He also loved youth hockey. When his daughters were still a twinkle in his eye, he and his brother, John, coached for 7 years in Kettering at South Dayton Youth Hockey. The brother duo took a team that resembled the Bad News Bears on to win the coveted Norris Cup. He later helped create the Miamisburg Soccer Association and was instrumental in establishing the fields on Medlar Road. Joe also coached all three daughters in soccer from 1988 to 2004. He was appointed to the Miamisburg Schools Education Foundation in 1998 and served as president from 2004 until his passing. In 2005, he was elected to the Miamisburg City School Board where he was later named vice president and then president. Joe was also the Miamisburg representative for the Miami Valley Career Technology Center beginning in 2008, and most recently, he proudly served as president.
