We also commend our outstanding bus drivers—Jessie Kyle, Marvella Mitchell, Arthur Roach, Beverly Perkins-Whitney, and Michelle Williams—for ensuring our scholars traveled safely to and from each destination.

Finally, we proudly commend Dr. Perry Revels, Principal of Madison High School, for his continued leadership, vision, and unwavering support of student growth both inside and outside the classroom. His commitment to providing scholars with enriching, real-world experiences remains instrumental in the success of our school community.

We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge our sponsors for their generous donations, which played a vital role in ensuring our scholars had an exceptional and memorable experience. Thank you all for continuing to support and uplift Madison High School.
