academic achievement among Mississippi’s high school seniors. Each STAR Student is asked to designate a STAR Teacher, the teacher who has made the greatest contribution to the student’s scholastic achievement. Dr. Wyck Neely was designated as this year’s STAR Teacher. Stephen will be honored during the annual Education Celebration on April 30 at the Jackson Convention Center in downtown Jackson. Stephen Rayborn and Dr. Wyck Neely will also be recognized at the Magee Chamber of Commerce banquet on Tuesday, March 24, 2015.
