Our College and Career Readiness students had a great day touring the beautiful campus of Mississippi State University! From exploring campus to learning more about college life and opportunities, our students got a firsthand look at what their future could hold.

And to make the day even more special, we ran into a familiar face — a 2026 WHS graduate who is now continuing their journey at Mississippi State! We love seeing our students grow, succeed, and chase their dreams beyond the halls of WHS. 🥹🎓

📚🐯 A Different Story. A Different Culture. A Different Perspective!

Mrs. Kelli Coburn’s 10th grade ELA students took a trip across the world through literature as they read “By Any Other Name” by Santha Rama Rau! 🌎📖

As they explored the memoir, students analyzed the author’s point of view and examined the cultural differences and challenges she experienced in British-ruled India.

Lessons like this remind our Tigers that reading is about more than words on a page—it’s an opportunity to experience different cultures, understand new perspectives, and see the world through someone else’s eyes! ❤️🖤

✈️🇺🇸 CAREER EXPLORATION TAKES FLIGHT AT WHS! 🇺🇸✈️

Dr. Alainey Hughes’ College & Career Readiness (CCR) classes and Career Coach Kelli Blaylock at Winona High School welcomed United States Air Force Recruiter Staff Sergeant Campbell on August 27!

Staff Sergeant Campbell shared valuable information with our Tigers about:

✈️ Qualifications needed to join the U.S. Air Force
💪 What to expect during basic training
🏠 Benefits such as healthcare and housing
⚖️ Work/life balance
🛠️ Career opportunities and on-the-job training available through the Air Force

One of the most important messages he shared with our students was simple: No matter what you want to do after graduation—college, the workforce, or the military—MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLAN! 🎓💼🇺🇸

We appreciate Staff Sergeant Campbell taking the time to help our students learn more about the opportunities available to them as they begin planning for life after high school!

🐯 Interested in learning more about the U.S. Air Force? See Career Coach Kelli Blaylock if you would like the opportunity to meet privately with Staff Sergeant Campbell!
