Pursuing a degree in law and business, Hannah is already well on her way to earning her associate degree while completing high school. “I wanted to get ahead and finish with my associate degree while still doing high school,” she says. Her drive and discipline have kept her on the Dean’s or President’s List every semester at MGCCC.

Hannah’s involvement doesn’t stop in the classroom. At West Harrison, she is active in Mu Alpha Theta, competes on the tennis team, and participates in DECA through the business vocational program. At MGCCC, she’s a proud member of the Reflections Team, the CELO Team, and the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

After graduation, Hannah plans to attend The University of Mississippi and pursue a degree in business law, blending her passion for justice with her love of leadership.

While she’s achieved a great deal already, Hannah is honest about the challenges. “Balancing school life and home life can be difficult sometimes,” she admits. “But the best things in life are worth working harder for.”

To students considering the Collegiate Academy path, Hannah is full of encouragement:

“Always give your best efforts but remember to have fun. We only have one life, so don’t regret something because you chose to not do it.”
