He was in ignorance as to what had been done m this respect, but some such home or institution might be useful to decayed old colonists. The Secretary stated that he had forwarded full particulars to Mr. Prankerd as to the objects of the Association, and had stated that the funds in hand were not sufficient to establish the first cottage home, but he ventured to say that if a douor would supplement the amount that the Council had in hand to an extent sufficient to erect the first home it would be named after him.

Stevenson, the well-known jeweller of this city, has received information from his brother in Sydney that a robbery took place on the premises of the firm on Saturday evening laBt.

The hole made was in front of a valuable show of diamonds, and the thief put his hand through and grabbed a handful of the gems.
Crowds of people were about, and the robber was easily able to elude his pursuers, as doubtless he bad calculated he would be. A Police Funeral.

He is a fine man and outstanding coach. Prep is getting what they deserve for running him off. Hell, Hartfield beat Prep this year with a guy who has never won anywhere, imagine what they could do with Coach Black.
The truth hurts sometimes. And no amount of trying to even the playing field will ever trump no pun intended that. I have a successful career and have not ever shown my diploma once. Relationships are the crux of business. Lawrence Coco, the current JP head of school is a hand-picked lackey selected by a completely unaccountable board of trustees.
In his brief tenure, Coco has single-handedly driven enrollment at Prep to dismal levels, lost critical market share to neighboring schools watching contentedly as they build strength and numbers , and presided over the erosion of a once great athletic presence in the MSAIS.
He is assisted day in and day out by one of the most inept, unimpressive, and lazy administrative teams working in private schools. All of them. How far down the dashboard dials do the needles need to sink to jolt everyone awake at Prep? Signs of institutional health are not good. Hey everybody: line up over here to pay tuition for Prep to learn-as-they-go on you elementary age school children. FPDS is a shell of its former self under Herring.
The school has replaced wise, credentialed, long time educators with young Junior League wannabes. FPDS kids arent doing as well at Prep as they once did. Out of the 8 students on the top tier honor roll the head masters list at prep last 9 weeks 6 of those kids went through first pres. In case you are unfamiliar with the top tier, they have to have a 95 or above on every grade they make in each of their classes. Prep and St. I want him to be challenged. Is Fpds perfect? Neither is Hartfield, Ja, Mra..
We should all welcome this move. Prep will do a good job with elementary students. Get with it or shut down…. You know what's funny to me are these comments about "little angels". Let me help you understand I have a 7-year-old and cannot personally afford private school, but we live in a decent district and I think he will do ok I would gladly send him to prep, JA, or any of them if I could.
Because I love my child. It has nothing to do with a social media post or football, I would like him to be able to read fluently, do trigonometry when he graduates and not end up a gang leader. Now it will take 2 hours to drive 6 miles instead of one. I hate LL Drive from 55 to Dogwood with a passion. I literally go 11 miles out of the way to take Flowood Drive just to avoid the 28 some odd red lights. This will only make it worse. We are all just doing the best we can by our kids.
I put my kids through private school here because we live in Hinds County - and our experience was fine. But honestly, if I had it to do over, I would probably do exactly what you are doing - move to a decent school district and support public education. I am certain my kids would be prepared just fine for college and for life and would have less of a sense of entitlement and arrogance that sometimes comes with the private school BS which is on full display in this thread.
Now that the cords have officially been cut, First Pres can move forward in their commitment to providing quality, Christ-centered, biblical education. It could be a blessing in disguise for First Pres. For those struggling to make a decision between the two schools, if you want a quality, Christ-centered, biblical education for your kids send them to First Pres.
The underlying problem hasn't been mentioned once- Mississippi's brain drain. The State keeps educating college graduates who have to move out of the State to find a decent career in his or her field.
Along with act scores they have sat, psat, and average grades for the class of I thought Mrs. Boone was the new head of school at Prep.
Those who don't want a Christian education, send your kids to Prep. That's exactly what you will get. Another factor in the decision may be that Christ Covenant is opening a high school and some of those kids will no longer transfer to Prep. A declining enrollment would have a big financial impact on operations. To the person that said private school kids do better in college than those at Madison Central, please refer to the number of National Merit Finalists that MC has every year.
Also, the children that attend the universities in our state and elsewhere are competing just fine. Please feel free to share any data you have that disputes this. This morning, Jackson Prep announced that they will be implementing an elementary school, which will begin in the school year. For 56 years, families have chosen First Presbyterian Day School because they wanted an exemplary Christian education opportunity for their children. That has not changed. Families have chosen First Presbyterian Day School because they wanted Christian teachers equipping their children to be great academically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Families have chosen First Presbyterian Day school because they wanted their children prepared to be their best once they leave here.
Our mission remains the same. I guess Coco sees this as his hail mary to expand enrollment in light of Hartfeild competition and demographic shifts to Madison Co. Coco has been disappointing. A prior school board attorney in Mississippi who actually thinks we have teachers' unions in this state? Everything else in this discussion aside That guy is a danger to education in this state. How comical having finished reading the first 53 comments, most of them blowing smoke up each others you-know-what.
Take a guess? Prep had 8 with probably a third of the enrollment St. My child went to SA from PK to 8th then left due to inadequate science and math classes which was confirmed by head master in exit interview. Went on to Prep where the curriculum was more advanced!! The move was well worth it and student didn't have to be harass due to color and financial background as was demonstrated at SA Great for Prep and best wishes.
The folks who are bragging about the total number of National merit finalists the big box schools have, not as a per capita figure, are even more reason not go to the pubs. It hurts my head that someone tries to compare a class of to a class of straight up. Okay, we see where the small numbers are supposed to be good The lack of critical thinking on display in the last few posts is stunning. How many trade school bound kids go to Prep and St.
How many kids going to Prep and St. Andrews will forgo college? How many Prep and St.
