A
We
will
continue
to
ask
for
your
support
and
we're
very
excited
about
a
recent
release
of
an
A
rating
yesterday
of
accountability
from
the
state
of
Mississippi,
so
we've
Biloxi
again
is
an
a-rated
School
District.
We're
very
very,
very
pleased
about
that.
Just
a
few
highlights
about
that.
A
rating
is
that
Biloxi
is
in
the
top
ten
number,
seven
in
the
state
of
Mississippi
and
our
junior
high
school
it's
great
seven
and
eight
is
the
top
junior
high
school
on
the
Mississippi
Gulf
Coast,
and
that
takes
care
of
the
entire
six
County
area.
A
A
Presently
we
have
over
14
different
languages,
foreign
languages
spoken
in
the
blech
sea
school
district
and
to
to
assimilate
those
kind
of
test
scores
with
that
diversity
of
students
makes
a
tremendous
difference
in
the
way
that,
basically,
we
look
at
things
we're
at
Nicholls,
pre-k
school.
We
have
six
pre-k
classrooms
of
three-year-olds
hi
there
Nicholls
that's
about
120
students
and
it's
the
top
pre-k
school
on
the
Mississippi,
Gulf
Coast
and
we're
very
excited
about
it
and
MS
Nance
and
her
staff.
Eric
Nichols
have
done
a
fine,
an
outstanding
job.
A
A
Not
only
accredit
to
them
is
to
their
families
to
the
school
district
and
the
like,
and
we
have
approximately
50
students
right
now
that,
if
scored
30
or
above
that,
we're
recognizing
in
a
very
very
special
way,
we've
taken
pictures
of
each
one
of
these
students
and
they
will
be
presented
in
banners
that
will
be
on
each
of
our
flag
light
poles.
Throughout
the
district.
As
you
drive
through
Bullock's
high
school,
you
see
a
lot
of
banners
that
are
hung
up
because
of
athletes
and
cheerleaders
and
the
like
and
they're
very
important
to.
A
But
we
have
a
strong
emphasis
in
Biloxi
on
academics
and
we
think
that
we
recognize
the
30
club
30-plus
Club.
It
will
be
even
better
for
all
of
our
students
and
we're
very
very
excited
about
that,
and
those
matters
should
be
going
up
in
the
very
near
future,
and
the
banner
will
stay
up
there,
the
entire
length
of
time
that
the
student
is
enrolled
in
the
bloody
school
district.
A
So
this
it's
kind
of
a
it's
a
long
process
and
it
takes
like
this,
but
it's
a
very,
very
important
position
here
in
the
school
district
and
also
in
the
community,
and
so
it's
very
important.
So
we
hope
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
receive
you
know
good
quality
of
applicants.
That
would
be
want
to
be
superintendent
in
Biloxi.
