Last night, we were proud to recognize the 2025-2026 Mayor’s Youth Council members for their hard work and commitment. This group of students has spent the year learning more about their city, meeting with local leaders and exploring different careers, all while showing up as leaders in their schools and community. Each of them received a certificate recognizing their completion of the program.

We’re excited to see what’s next for each of you, and we hope this experience has helped you see just how much potential you have and how much your community believes in you! Congratulations! 🎉

We had a great time visiting with Senator Brice Wiggins, Representative Jimmy Fondren, Justice David Ishee, Judge Amy St. Pé and Judge Tony Lawrence.

Thank you all for allowing our students to visit with you all and get a behind-the-scenes look at how our government operates. We are so proud to have such wonderful leaders at the state level and appreciate their constant support for our students and community!
