Mississippi Scholars Graduates Recognized in Lee County
MOOREVILLE HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS
Mississippi Scholars graduates from Mooreville High School, Nettleton High School, Saltillo High School, and Shannon High School were recognized at awards ceremonies, throughout the month of May, for graduating with honors through participation in the Mississippi Scholars program. For the fourth consecutive year, Lee County schools and Tupelo Middle School participated in the program, which is designed to motivate students to enroll in rigorous high school courses that will prepare them for college and careers. “This program continues to be a great success in our area because it shows students the importance of graduating from high school, and gives them an understanding of how their education or training is directly linked to economic success in the future,” said Todd Beadles, vice president of workforce development for the Community Development Foundation. “Whether they plan to attend college or pursue a career, Mississippi Scholars emphasizes the importance of completing high school and having a plan.” Each Mississippi Scholars graduate was awarded a medallion of distinction and certificate of recognition for their accomplishment. Each student also received a gift card as a special token of appreciation for graduating as a Mississippi Scholar. The course of study for Mississippi Scholars includes four credits of English/Language Arts, four credits of Mathematics, four credits of Science, four credits of Social Studies, an art credit, and two credits of a Foreign Language. Additional expectations of Mississippi Scholars graduates include community service, 95% school attendance, a letter of recommendation from a principal or guidance counselor, and a 2.5 cumulative high school grade point average. For more information on the Mississippi Scholars program or to learn how your business can be a part of Mississippi Scholars, please contact Todd Beadles in the CDF office at (662) 842-4521.
