Nayeli Fuentes,†Junior Class President of Mount Pleasant High School,† and†Elizabeth Griffin, a presence recently in the local theatre scene, were recognized in a luncheon at 91³ÉÈ˵¼º½ March 4 as regional high school standouts.

"It was inspiriting to have two students together who have done so much to raise the bar on excellence in Northeast Texas,"†Dr. Andrew Yox, 91³ÉÈ˵¼º½ Honors Director, said.
