Saltillo High School

Saltillo High School was honored to welcome Dr. Mark Keenum, President of Mississippi State University, to campus this week to speak with our Senior Class. Dr. Keenum delivered an inspiring message, encouraging students to pursue their passions and believe in their potential. He shared several memorable quotes with our seniors: “I want you to be successful in whatever you choose to do.” “If you can dream it, we can help you achieve it.” “At Mississippi State, if you are a Bulldog, you look out for one another, care for one another, and love one another.” Dr. Keenum also emphasized the three core values that define Mississippi State University: Integrity. Work. & Respect. Pictured are: Dr. Keenum; Mr. Dye, Principal; Mr. Summers, Assistant Principal; Mrs. Stephanie Box, College & Career Readiness Teacher; Mrs. Brock, Senior Counselor; Mrs. Kathy, Junior Counselor; Mrs. Katelynn Potter, MSU Recruiter; Officer Duck and several senior boys who plan to become proud Bulldogs in the future! Great things are happening here at SHS!!
