WAC receives Lt. Governor's Attendance award
Special to Wesson News
Wesson Attendance Center (WAC) recently received the Lt. Governor’s Attendance Award for its low chronic absenteeism rate during the 2025-26 school year.
Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann notified WAC Principal Rickey Clopton of the award in a letter late last month.
According to the letter, the school’s chronic absenteeism rate of less than sixteen percent puts it in the top twenty percent of all public schools in Mississippi.
Hosemann wrote that students who are in school are more likely to succeed academically, graduate and become engaged citizens in their communities. He credited students, educators and parents at the school with acknowledging the importance of showing up and being engaged in the learning process.
The school thanked its parents and students for their commitment, hard work and dedication to being present.
