Milner National Merit Finalist and NEJ STAR Student
Northeast Jones Senior Tucker Milner has advanced to Finalist standing in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program by demonstrating, through distinguished performance, high potential for future academic accomplishment.
The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual academic competition among high school students for recognition and college scholarships that begin in 1955. United States high school students enter the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which serves as an initial screen of over 1.3 million entrants each year, and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements. Students who receive Finalist status compete for approximately 7,800 scholarships each year.
Tucker Ryan Milner, son of Ryan and Heather Milner of Laurel, has been named STAR Student for the 2023-2024 school year by the Mississippi Economic Council (MEC) Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program. The program will be held April 4, 2024, at the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl, MS. The theme for the event is “Pathways to Success.” This year will mark the 59th Anniversary of the STAR program. Established by the Mississippi Economic Council in 1965, the purpose of the STAR program is to recognize outstanding students and teachers in Mississippi through its Education Celebration.
Star Students are selected on the basis of academic excellence. Both American College Test scores and scholastic averages are compared to determine the school’s STAR Student, explained Vickie Powell of Jackson, Senior Vice President of Foundations. “The STAR program encourages and promotes academic achievement among Mississippi’s high school seniors,” she said. Each STAR student is asked to designate a STAR Teacher, the teacher who has made the greatest contribution to the student’s scholastic achievement.
Tucker selected Mrs. Regina Milner as his STAR Teacher.

Welcome to the Real World
Northeast Jones students today participated in the Welcome to the Real World program. Coordinated by Jones County School District Transition Specialist Melanie Jacobsen and presented by Jones County Extension Agent Kim Hancock and community volunteers, the program introduces students to the real world of money management. Each student is given a ‘real world scenario’ in which he is assigned a job, salary, and number of family members. As the student visits the various stations he has to ‘pay’ for groceries, housing, utilities, taxes, clothing, healthcare, transportation, etc. He must also set aside funds for emergencies, entertainment. As the student makes decisions regarding what he/she will spend for each item he must keep in mind the amount of money he earns. If he goes over budget, he must get a second, or possibly a third, job. At each station, a Real World volunteer guides students toward realistic monetary decisions.
