ELLISVILLE \u2013 More than 160 High School Equivalency (HSE) diplomas were distributed to graduates who completed their HSE at Â鶹ֱ²¥ with about 100 graduates participating in the Commencement Ceremony to celebrate their accomplishments. Brother and sister duo, Ta\u2019Mya and Dimeco Mercer from Waynesboro were especially excited to receive their diplomas together. Dimeco\u2019s future looks a little brighter thanks to Wayne County Center\u2019s Out-of-School-Youth Career Coach, Reed Walters and his younger sister, Ta\u2019Mya\u2019s encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimeco and Ta’Mya Mercer <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBasically, I was a high school drop-out at 14. I got kicked out of school, got sent up the road. I was in trouble,\u201d said the now 20-year-old, Dimeco. \u201cBut I couldn\u2019t let my little sister beat me. Even though I did all that, I got to graduate with my sister. She kept pushing me and Mr. Reed is a great counselor, mentor and teacher. He stuck in there with me and made sure we got things done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His sister, 17-year-old Ta\u2019Mya, is set on being a nurse but didn\u2019t like going to public school. Graduating with her brother has been a special memory for both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis means a lot to both of us, to graduate with her because she influenced and inspired me. Now, I want to be a mechanic or a plumber,\u201d said Dimeco. Ta\u2019Mya added, \u201cI\u2019m very excited about graduating with him. I\u2019m proud and I\u2019ll probably cry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Also earning her diploma after waiting for more than 20 years, is 35-year-old Phyllis Evans of Laurel. She decided now was the time partly because her 16-year-old and 10-year-old urged Evans to get her HSE and live out her dream of becoming a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never thought this day would come!\u201d explained Evans. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely an accomplishment and I\u2019m proud of myself. It took me a long time to get the courage to go back to school. However, I discovered it\u2019s never too late to get your education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did Evans get her diploma, but she also earned a scholarship as the highest scoring student from Jones County. Overall, this class of graduates has been awarded nearly $65,000 in scholarships according to Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s Director of Adult Education, Dr. Tiffany Culpepper. Receiving the Greene County Scholarship and the $500 Â鶹ֱ²¥ Foundation Scholarship was Jesse Moran from Leakesville for having the overall highest score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis really means a lot to me. I don\u2019t really think I deserve something like this, but I realize it\u2019s all part of God\u2019s plan for me,\u201d said Moran. \u201cI owe a lot to my friends and family. I\u2019d say the people around me got me to where I am right now and I believe God put these people in my life to help take care of me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the County Scholarships, 20 additional ACT Scholarships were awarded to qualifying students.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Receiving the Academic Achievement Scholarship for their ACT scores were Sarah Beth Smith of Quitman, Rae Grantham of Sumrall and Bayli Stokes of Laurel. Earning the Rising Excellence Scholarships were Chelsa Shaw of Moselle, Andrew Nelson of Beaumont, Tristan Dykes of Richton, Kristen Bates of Waynesboro, Jesse Moran of Leakesville, Jadin Hilbun of Laurel, Joshua Grantham of Sumrall, Sean Gingrich of Collins, Rohan Ghimire of Laurel, Brandi\u00a0Boreman of Ellisville, Caitlyn Varner of Stringer, Reagen Parker of Laurel, Hanna Hendry of Bay Springs, Miley Crager of Richton, Daytona Beasley of Moselle, Camryn Aylesworth of Prentiss and Paris Rose Alexander of Richton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the academic accomplishments announced at the HSE Ceremony, Keynote Speaker and Brigadier General, Bart Bartran challenged graduates to not get lazy and be satisfied with their current honors and awards. As someone who graduated at the bottom of his High School class, Bartran explained, joining the Army taught him a lot of things he missed in High School. Thinking he was an underachiever, Bartran learned it was not a matter of intelligence but a matter of how lazy you are as to whether or not you will succeed in life.<\/p>\n\n\n

Brigadier General Bart Bartran<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cYou have to strive to discipline yourself. You have to be dedicated and take everything on with will power and the determination to never quit and you\u2019ll achieve those things that you want to achieve,\u201d said Bartran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also encouraged graduates to focus on the next milestone in their life because life is not over now that they have a diploma. Challenging them to take on more degrees and training and never be satisfied, Bartran shared that after 36 years in public service through the military and nearly 10 years in law enforcement, he continues to look for opportunities to learn and to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter I retired, I always wanted to get my commercial driver\u2019s license, so I just completed the course at Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s Workforce Center. I challenge you to find those certifications and something you like. Wake up doing something you\u2019re passionate about and it will never be like working a day in your life,\u201d Bartran shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, when Bartran retired from the Army National Guard, he found a new job at Â鶹ֱ²¥ as the Director of the JC CORP which includes a continuation of some of his previous job duties as the Director of the Regional Counterdrug Training Academy (RCTA) through the National Guard based in Meridian. Besides offering advanced training for law enforcement, Bartran is teaching Criminal Justice courses on campus. Bartran\u2019s vast police and military experience includes 36 years of serving as a local policeman and sheriff deputy, being deployed overseas, commanding the 112th Military Police Battalion, serving as the Director of the Counterdrug Program for the Mississippi National Guard, and Commander of the RCTA. He is credited with training more than 36,000 law enforcement professionals throughout the nation during his career. The 1988 West Jones High School graduate also earned countless medals and honors along the way, including the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal with one Silver Oak Leaf Cluster and one Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster, and the Governor\u2019s final rank advancement and Honorary Promotion to Brigadier General when he retired in April 2025. During the HSE Commencement Ceremony, Bartran reminded students he changed his direction in life to be successful. Since they have begun that journey by obtaining their HSE diploma, they too can strive towards excellence like him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had some folks that invested in me many years ago and stayed with me through thick and thin and that\u2019s why I\u2019m here with you today. I did not like high school. I hated it. I was not a good student, but I found something I was passionate about and I changed my thinking,\u201d said Bartran. \u201cYou\u2019ve begun to challenge yourself with this course. I challenge you to continue but also find balance with your family and your spiritual readiness; stay focused.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
