Wess Kennedy - HCS 2022 STAR STUDENT Wess Kennedy has been named STAR Student for the 2021-2022 school year by the Mississippi Economic Council (MEC) M. B. Swayze Foundation, sponsor of the Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program. Established by the Mississippi Economic Council in 1965, the purpose of the STAR program is to recognize outstanding students & teachers in Mississippi through its Education Celebration. Wess, a Hebron Christian School senior, was honored during the annual Education Celebration on April 14, 2022, at the Clyde Muse Center, 515 Country Place Parkway in Pearl, MS. This prestigious event was co-sponsored by: AT&T, Atmos Energy, BancorpSouth, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi, Cooperative Energy, Electric Cooperative of Mississippi, Entergy, Mississippi, Ingalls Shipbuilding, Mississippi Power Company, Sanderson Farms, Inc., Trustmark National Bank, and Yates. Additional local support for the STAR program is provided by MEC members from communities across the state. Star Students are selected on the basis of academic excellence. Both American College Test scores and scholastic averages are compared to determine the school’s STAR Student, explained Vickie Powell of Jackson, Senior Vice President of Foundations. “The STAR program encourages and promotes academic achievement among Mississippi’s high school seniors,” she said.
