Mason Crawford has been named STAR Student for West Marion High School for the 2025-2026 school year by the Mississippi Business Alliance Foundation. The purpose of the STAR program is to recognize outstanding students & teachers in Mississippi through its Education Celebration.
The West Marion High School senior and teacher will be listed with the “Class of 2026” STAR Students and STAR Teachers across the state of Mississippi.
Star Students are selected based on academic excellence, with both American College Test scores and scholastic averages used to determine the school’s STAR Student. The STAR program encourages and promotes academic achievement among Mississippi’s high school seniors.
Each STAR Student is asked to designate a STAR Teacher, the teacher who has made the greatest contribution to the student’s scholastic achievement.
Mason selected Josh Tidwell as his STAR Teacher.
