This morning, the School Superintendents of Alabama (SSA) and Curriculum Associates presented senior Makyiah Kelley with a $1,000 scholarship to assist her in pursuing a college degree in one of the most admirable and impactful professions—teaching. Makyiah was chosen by Dr. Gonsoulin and Dr. Dallas for demonstrating academic excellence and a deep passion for shaping the future through education. Even more inspiring is her commitment to stay right here in Alabama to make a difference in the lives of local students. Makyiah will begin this journey at Jacksonville State University. We can't wait to see her pour into the next generation of learners! 🎉Congratulations, Makyiah!

They did it!! Students from Ms. Wilcox’s AP Biology class collaborated with researchers at Towson University in Baltimore to design and conduct an experiment investigating how salt tolerances may impact where three small anemone species found in the Chesapeake Bay choose to live. To accomplish this, they developed new marine aquaculture skills, as well as experimental design and data analysis skills. Five of the students traveled to Mobile, Alabama to present their results at the 2025 Benthic Ecology Meeting, a professional conference for research scientists. We couldn’t be more proud of their effort and follow-through! Go Cougars!
These students passed the National Certification Exam through the NHA to become certified as CPhTs (Certified Pharmacy Technicians). Being able to pass this exam takes such grit, critical thinking, and the ability to apply the information in real scenarios.

We are so proud of them and the teachers that helped them prepare!
