The honorees for the “Student / Athlete of the Week” Award for the week of January 26 – February 1 have been selected. The award, which is sponsored by the Jackson Parish Hospital, recognizes an outstanding student/athlete chosen by select members of the faculty and staff from each of the three Jackson Parish School District high schools.
The selectees are chosen for best exemplifying what it means to be a true student-athlete through academic achievement and athletic accomplishment. Each recipient is recognized by the Jackson Parish Hospital through social media and receives a special commemorative shirt.
Earning accolades this week are Oddyssey Brooks, a member of the Tiger Paws at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, Jaleigh Burns of the Quitman High School girls basketball team and Megan Walker, who is a cheerleader at Weston High School.
Join the Jackson Parish Hospital and the Jackson Parish Journal as we congratulate and applaud these athletes for their dedication and achievements in the classroom and through their athletic endeavors!
