Mississippi Scholars program currently recognizes those who pursue a college-bound course of study, with a particular emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We would love for 100% of our students to be able to claim this award when they graduate. Click HERE for more information.

One of the requirements is documenting community service hours from 9-12 grades. Graduates of the classes of 2020 and 2021 only have to document 40 hours. Class of 2022 and beyond need to document 80 hours. Download and get signatures throughout each year as you complete your activities.
