The Golden Ticket Celebration was a coming out party for the students who made the difference in moving McNair one performance level on Mississippi’s Accountability Model. These 216 students grew at least one performance level on the 2023 state assessment. Moving McNair from a ‘F’ rated school to a ‘D’ rated school.
Students received a golden ticket in a sealed envelope before their peers inviting them and their parents to a celebration to be held one evening after school. Our students showed up dressed to impress for a surprise from Principal Tanner and the staff. All students' pictures were placed on ceiling tiles in the main foyer of McNair Middle School as well as a presentation of a certificate duplicating the tile.
