Lafayette High School Honors First-Ever Dual STAR Students: Andrew Phillips and Thomas Cribbs
Lafayette High School is proud to announce that seniors Thomas Cribbs and Andrew Phillips have been named 2025 STAR Students, marking the first time in school history that two students have received this distinguished honor in the same year.
The Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) Program, administered by the Mississippi Economic Council (MEC), recognizes the highest-achieving high school seniors in Mississippi based on their ACT scores and academic performance. To qualify, students must have the highest ACT score in their graduating class and meet rigorous academic criteria.
Andrew and Thomas have demonstrated exceptional dedication to their studies and a strong commitment to academic excellence. As STAR Students, they were also allowed to name their STAR Teachers—educators who have made a significant impact on their educational journey. Thomas selected Bethany Lucas, and Andrew selected Virginia Cornelius.
