Houston High School SENIOR PLAY for the public!
Houston High School Junior, Thad Garner, has represented HHS by serving on the MS State Superintendent's Student Advisory Council with 114 students. Thad has met with students from all over the state to work on projects that were presented today. Topics were teacher shortage, safety, cell phone policies, mental health, AI, and student attendance. Thad worked with a group of students that researched school cell phone policies.
So proud to see HHS producing future leaders in education!
