Congratulations to our very own, Carl Wilson! 💙💛

Graduation marks a significant milestone in a person’s life, filled with anticipation and celebration. It becomes all the more memorable when the graduate receives support and recognition from their community.

Today, I would like to highlight Carl J. Wilson II, a native of Farmhaven, Mississippi.

Carl received his high school diploma from Velma Jackson High School and will attend the University of Southern Mississippi in the fall to major in Digital Journalism with a concentration in Broadcast. His favorite quote is, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13

Congratulations, Carl! May you continue to rise and achieve greater heights!
