JACKETS IN THE NEWS
Yellow Jackets Travel to our Nation’s Capital for Congressional Seminar:
Seniors Tripp Lowry, Duncan Rowe and Audrey Welch are spending the week in Washington, D.C. as the result of winning the Colonial Dames Essay Contest this past school year. They are participating in a mock student congress with other high school students from across the United States. They even met with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senator Bill Cassidy.
We are proud of these accomplished students, and we are so thankful for the amazing faculty members who have poured into these students!
