The honorees for the “Student / Athlete of the Week” Award for the week of March 16-22 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 Rachel Bandy, who is on the Weston High School softball team, Dewayne “DJ” Palmer, a member of the Jonesboro-Hodge High School boys basketball team, and Briley Bowers of the Quitman High School softball team.
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!
