Local student Jason Cathey has been selected as a 2008-2009 emissary for the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science. Emissaries are the official student spokespersons for the school. They assist the admissions office in various recruitment and public relations activities of MSMS. These activities include conducting tours for visitors, presentations for prospective students, letter writing, hosting and serving at receptions and other social functions, and ushering at assembly programs. A committee chooses emissaries after undergoing an in-depth selection process, which includes a written application, interview, and teacher recommendations. Qualifications include senior status, B average or better, good verbal skills, and a school record of exemplary behavior. “Bearing the title ‘emissary’ is a very prestigious honor. This title is granted only to senior students who have demonstrated superior academic achievement, as well as exemplary leadership, interpersonal, and public relations skills. “I am very proud to have the opportunity to work with these students and contribute to their professional development,” Julie Muselwhite, staff assistant for recruitment, said. Jason is the son of Jimmie and Mary Cathey. Students
