In a ceremony honoring MCHS graduates who will be graduating with honors, distinction and Top 10%, a special gift was presented to the students who will graduate as the Top 10 in the 2017 senior class.
Davenport Group is a technology company in St. Paul, Minnesota that is owned and operated by Lewisburg residents Paul and Sonya Clifford. Sonya graduated from Cornersville High School and returned to Marshall County with her husband and business partner, Paul, in 2015.
After hearing of the Rennaissance Program at MCHS and the great strides students have made in test scores, attendance, GPA and scholarships, the couple decided they wanted to do something to show their appreciation for the achievements of the school and the students.
On Tuesday, during the graduation honors ceremony, the couple presented 10 Dell XPS 13 laptops to the following Top 10 graduating students (in alphabetical order):
Laura Beth Brown, Natalie Cook, Mickey Crump, Stefan Daniel, Haley Davis, Hannah Haislip, Noah Jorgensen, Ximena Leon, Jacob Pomata-Gilley and Marti Sullivan.
