Hancock Career and Technical Center

Emily Battaglia, Emma Hopkins, and Raleigh Seal were selected as recipients of the IMPACT Scholarship at Pearl River Community College on Tuesday, April 21. This special scholarship was made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor who wished to recognize and support outstanding students and teachers across Mississippi. Through this gift, the donor hoped to celebrate the powerful influence educators have on their students’ lives and future careers. These Hancock Career and Technical Center students wrote an essay about their career plans and the teacher who had an “impact” on their lives. Emily and Emma selected Ms. April Davis, and Raleigh Seal selected Ms. LaShea Wilson as their IMPACT teachers. During the scholarship luncheon on the PRCC Poplarville Campus, it was inspiring to see the meaningful connections between students and educators that continue to shape future leaders. #MakingWavesOfGreatness
