With a passion for automotive mechanics and a clear vision for his future, he’s earned multiple ASE certifications and dual-enrolled at Northeast Mississippi Community College to sharpen his skills early. He’s actively involved in his school and community—serving in clubs like SkillsUSA, BETA, FCA, and the National Technical Honor Society, all while volunteering over 70 hours and working as a Mechanic Assistant. After graduation, James will attend NEMCC to pursue a degree in Automotive Mechanics and Automotive Service Technology, continuing his journey toward owning his own successful auto business one day. From academics to leadership to service, James is driving toward a bright future—and we are so proud to celebrate him! 💙💛 #ACTCProud #StudentOfTheYear #LearnLeadExcel #WeAreASD
