Week of March 4

Celebrate Excellence - Pathways to Excellence

FFA Students opened car doors for kids last week.
Good luck to the students at the Panola Co. Livestock Show.

This past week 8th grade students were exposed to a multitude of opportunities they can pursue in
high school.  These opportunities are called pathways, and they provide students the opportunities to explore various options in high school and take a sequence of courses that prepares them for college.

Black History Month

Carthage JH students made topographic maps using
equipment that was provided by grant funding
from the Carthage Education Foundation!

This past Tuesday, I had the privilege to attend the Black History Assembly at Carthage Junior High.  It was an amazing program organized by the Excellent Teen Choice program which is led by Eric Love and Sharon Roberson-Jones.  The theme of the program was "First", and the program highlighted Panola County residents who were the first for their community.


The students recognized the following individuals:  Otis Amy, Wanda Gaines, Sandra King, Bonnie McMillian, Hubert Owens, Peggy Pope, Welton Sanders, and James Wall, Sr.  The students did an outstanding job, and we applaud their efforts to celebrate the greatness of the Carthage community.  CLICK HERE to see images from the program.
