Rural Medical Science Scholars

(8/24) Congratulations to PHS seniors, Kara Best and Katlyn Mayes, for completing the Summer 2026 Rural Medical and Science Scholars Program - a 2 week residential summer program at Mississippi State University. Practical lab-based learning activities were integrated throughout the program to enhance knowledge and skills. Workshops pertaining to communication, team building/critical thinking, and study skills helped to launch their college careers. They each completed one health science college-level course for college credit and also took part in activities at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Both Kara and Katlyn received full tuition scholarships to RMSS through the Toyota Wellspring Education Fund, which is administered by the CREATE Foundation. Way to go!
