Regents School of Oxford senior Mary Cile Meagher has been named STAR Student for the 2024-2025 school year.

This year will mark the 60th Anniversary of the STAR program. The purpose of the STAR program is to recognize outstanding students & teachers in Mississippi through its Education Celebration.

Meagher will be listed with the “Class of 2025” STAR Students and STAR Teachers.

Star Students are selected based on academic excellence. Both American College Test scores and scholastic averages are compared to determine the school’s STAR Student.

Each STAR Student is asked to designate a STAR Teacher, the teacher who has made the greatest contribution to the student’s scholastic achievement.

Meagher has selected Sasha Bryan as STAR Teacher.

Over 600 STAR Students and STAR Teachers will receive recognition at the Education Celebration in April in Pearl. The top 20 STAR Students –The ALL-STAR Scholars – will receive scholarships and their STAR Teachers will receive awards provided by the Kelly Gene Cook, Sr. Charitable Foundation.

The highlight of the Education Celebration will be the naming of the Mississippi ALL-STAR Scholar for 2024 – 2025 school year, winner of the coveted $24,000 Cook Foundation Scholarship.
