Saltillo High School senior Saxton McHenry has been named STAR Student for the 2023-2024 school year by the Mississippi Economic Council (MEC) M.B. Swayze Foundation, sponsor of the Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program.
  
STAR Students are selected on the basis of academic excellence. Each STAR Student is asked to designate a STAR Teacher - the teacher who has made the greatest contribution to the student's scholastic achievement.
  
Saltillo High School teacher Kellie Dillard was designated as STAR Teacher.
  
Hundreds of STAR Students and STAR Teachers in Mississippi will be recognized this spring during MEC's prestigious Education Celebration event in Pearl.
Members of the Make-A-Wish Club at Saltillo High School have raised $8,000 this school year and will get to grant a wish for a deserving child.
  
The president of the club, Elyse McKissick, presented the donation check to the Make-A-Wish Mid-South chapter on February 29. SHS club sponsor, Deanna Gable, says Elyse and the other students have worked diligently this year to reach their goal of being able to grant a child’s wish. The group raised the money through a variety of local fundraisers that included a coin drive/competition at the primary and elementary schools.
  
Lydia Miller with Make-A-Wish Mid-South says the recipient will be announced in the next few months. Miller says she is always amazed at how sometimes the smallest of groups can make such a huge impact. The Make-A-Wish organization was founded in 1980 to grant wishes for children with critical illnesses.
