Students Shine Brighter Than the News | Jackson News

In a powerful counter-narrative to Jackson’s troubling gun violence stats, the school district launches NotMe — spotlighting student dreams and achievements to inspire hope. From 16-year-old Brooklynn Jefferson eyeing journalism, healthcare, or music to JROTC standout Jordan Smith aiming for the Navy, these stories remind the city that students are rising above the headlines. With four teens already lost to gun violence this year and homicides up 10 from last year, Superintendent Dr. Errick Greene says these uplifting tales are vital.
