Dr. Derek Read, has been named the Mississippi Association for Career and Technical Education (MSACTE) Administrator of the Year. This state-level honor recognizes his dedication to our students, innovative leadership in CTE, and a passion for building Mississippi’s future workforce.

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Yassieli Santana, a 6th grader, from Trent Lott Academy  for placing third in the state level Spelling Bee competition. 


We are honored to recognize Ginger Christian  with South Mississippi Smiles for her incredible generosity and commitment to our students. Her thoughtful donation of $1,000 specifically to clear outstanding student meal debt ensures that our children can focus on their studies instead of worrying about unpaid balances.
