🎉 Congratulations to Collin Moore and Jonathan Ross, both Juniors at Columbus High School, for being selected as Junior Pages in the Mississippi Senate for Lt. Governor Delbert Hoseman! 🎉
Only a select few students have the honor of working during the legislative session each year, and these two did an outstanding job serving at the Capitol. It was an amazing opportunity for them to witness the legislative process firsthand and learn more about our state government.
A special shoutout to, Ms. Anna Grace Pierce, who was a Senior Page alongside them! 🙌
GREAT JOB, GUYS! Falcon Pride!! 🦅 #MississippiSenate #FalconPride #FutureLeaders
