Pontotoc High School has three students who are currently serving on the Northeast Mississippi Youth Foundation Board for 2021-2022. The board consists of around 50 students from among the 17 counties that CREATE serves. NEMYF has an endowment fund - money totally raised by the students - that currently stands at more than $150,000. During the fall semester, students focus some of their energy on fundraising to build the endowment. Then in the spring, the students submit grant ideas from their home counties, vote on which grants to fund, organize a press conference, and announce how they spent the earnings from their endowment.
Congratulations to Dawson Suggs, Jasmier Coleman, and Joseph Henry on representing PHS! We look forward to seeing the great work you do this year.
