Just Among Friends
Time flies when you are having fun! At least the graduates of Neshoba Central's Class of 1984 discovered at their 40th Class Reunion recently. They could not believe they had graduated 40 years ago! Where have the years gone?
The Class of 1984 recently gathered for their 40th class reunion at the Venue. There was a lot of chatter and laughter as classmates mingled and reminisced on days gone by. They also caught up with their current lives, which was fun, too.

Jarqueze Hunter, Auburn University’s premier running back and Neshoba Central alum, has generously donated to Neshoba Central Elementary to be used for the school’s Clothes Closet and Snack Pantry, crucial resources for students in need.
Jarqueze, known for his impressive performance on the football field, has always remained connected to his roots in Neshoba County, which reflects his ongoing commitment to giving back to the community that supported him throughout his formative years.
"I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from my community growing up and for the they continue to give me, " said Jarqueze. It's important to me to help provide for the kids in my hometown. I hope this donation can make a real difference in their lives." A huge thank you to this individual who was not only impressive on the football field, but also in his life off the field.

Judging from the picture posted by a resident, Wodland Hills is going to the hogs! I didn't recognize the big animal for what it was at first! I hope we don't get overrun with them. Maybe this one won't spread the oink about the verdant growth for eating.

An adorable baby girl, Clara Ann Johnson, arrived on August 7, weighing 6 pounds, 9 ounces, much to the joy of her parents, Brent and Mollie McKay Johnson! She missed the Fair, but she will probably join her family next year. Her grandparents are Don and Sharon Tingle McKay and Ricky and Tammy Johnson. Congratulations!
