Good morning, Biloxi.

The State Board of Education has named Cannon Parker from Gulfport High as a junior representative for the upcoming school year.

Parker, who boasts a 4.25 GPA and volunteers with the Salvation Army & Kiwanis Pancake Day, will serve two non-voting years on the board.

Teacher Victoria Lenox (North Bay Elementary School) was recognized by the Biloxi Rotary Club this week when she received the Beverly Briscoe Award of Excellence for her commitment to students.

State officials reported that severe storms from Tropical Storm Arthur caused flooding and damage to roads, homes, and infrastructure across South Mississippi.

Crews are assisting residents today while additional showers and possible flash flooding are forecast — residents should stay weather aware.

Biloxi was recognized as a 2025 Tree City during Tuesday's city council meeting (celebrating 42 years of Tree City USA) to honor its commitment to planting, growing, and maintaining community trees.

The designation reflects the city's sustained public investment in urban forestry.

Pearl River Central alum Wyatt Davis hosted his 5th 601 Elite Quarterback Under the Lights showcase at The Rock at Southern Miss last weekend, where over 70+ signal callers from high schools and junior colleges competed in drills and game-like scenarios.
