The Mississippi Economic Council sponsors the Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) Program to encourage scholastic achievement among high school students and to recognize the teaching profession. Jackson Academy’s STAR students are Sophie Henderson, who selected Ann Boswell Carlson as her STAR teacher, and Miller Usry, who selected Sara Bannerman as his STAR teacher. STAR students are chosen based on having the highest ACT score in the graduating class, along with other academic achievements.
MEC sponsored the STAR 2025 Education Celebration for students and teachers on April 10 at the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl. More than 500 STAR students and STAR teachers received recognition from Mississippi Economic Council’s M.B. Swayze Foundation at the celebration.
Congratulations, JA STAR students and teachers!
