(9/21) We thank Elizabeth McClendon, Probation/Parole Agent with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, for visiting and speaking with College and Career Readiness students. She spoke about career pathways, requirements, job descriptions and benefits of working with MDOC. She also talked about different types of probation and parole, drug court, treatment programs and tools and resources used to help people get rehabilitated and get back into society.

(9/16) We thank Mr. Bryant Southward, who works in the fields of industrial, manufacturing, and aerospace engineering for Northrop Grumman, for visiting CCR and speaking to students about the aerospace and defense industry. We appreciate him guiding our students to realize the viable and exciting STEM career paths which are available and helping students realize what it takes to succeed in those fields.

(9/16) FCA students brightened teachers' Wednesday morning, showing up with Mae's To-Go Cup coffee, breakfast snacks, and fruit. What an encouragement to start the day! Acts of kindness such as this uplifts spirits! We appreciate them so much! ❤️ ☕️

(9/15) Yesterday, while studying passive and active transport, biology students at the top of the hill simply let go of a beach ball using no energy, and the ball was able to cross the “grass membrane” (Passive Transport).

Meanwhile, students at the bottom of the hill had to actively work/kick/use energy to get the beach ball back up across the “grass membrane” hill (Active Transport).

(9/15) Get ready for an epic Homecoming Spirit Week leading up to the big game!
