essay

Let's celebrate the achievements of these talented McCracken County High School students in the Fleet Reserve Association's annual essay contest! This contest offers students in grades 7-12 the opportunity to express their thoughts on "What Memorial Day means to Me" in 350 words or less.

Dr. Aaron Beals of the FRA recently presented awards to Conner Stevens, Brennen Hartman, and Sophie Hollowell (not pictured), who all received prizes at the District and Regional levels. Conner's essay has even been sent to Nationals for consideration for a top prize!

Accompanied by MCHS Head Principal Mr. Jonathan Smith and House 4 Counselor Mr. Jake Simmons, the awardees were recognized for their outstanding achievements. The Fleet Reserve Association, dedicated to serving the Sea Services (U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard), has been a valued supporter of our students and school community.

Congratulations to Conner, Brennen, Sophie, and all participants in the essay contest! We're grateful for the FRA's ongoing support and the opportunity it provides for students to express their creativity and honor the significance of Memorial Day.
