Celebration of Excellence in Education

(November 3, 2025) – What an exciting evening as the Harrison County School Board celebrated the outstanding accomplishments of our schools that earned top performance ratings from the Mississippi Department of Education for the 2024–25 school year!

Board members and district administrators proudly presented custom banners to recognize 14 “A” rated schools and six “B” rated schools for their exceptional achievements, hard work, and commitment to student success. In addition, HCSD Superintendent William Bentz presented a special plaque to the HCSD School Board in recognition of the district once again earning an overall “A” performance rating from MDE. The plaque will be displayed in the Board Room as a reminder of our shared commitment to academic achievement, growth, and excellence across all schools.
