A graduation ceremony was held on April 1 to celebrate the Itawamba County Development Council Jr. Leadership Class of 2021.
They started the year off in October, joined by Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann, Senator Daniel Sparks, Itawamba County Sheriff Chris Dickinson, Itawamba County Supervisor Tiny Hughes, Chancery Clerk Michelle Clouse, Fulton Mayor Barry Childers, Tremont Mayor Robert Don Whitehead, Alderwoman Liz Beasley, and Renaissance Community Loan Fund Community Outreach Coordinator Jeremy Martin in a Zoom session for a lesson in civics, a first for the program.
The group was finally able to have its first in person meeting January when they toured the Itawamba Community College Belden campus.
