Congratulations to Jackson Academy’s 2021 STAR students, Isabelle Lee and Priya Ray! Each STAR student selects a STAR Teacher, recognizing those individuals who have contributed to their scholastic achievements and personal development. Priya designated former JA foreign language teacher Judy McKeigney as STAR teacher. Isabelle selected chemistry teacher Richard West as her STAR teacher. The Mississippi Economic Council announced their STAR student selections for the 2020-2021 school year late last night. This is a prestigious recognition and a reflection of the focus and passion that each of the selected students has demonstrated in their academic pursuits.
