Good morning, Biloxi.

Misty Chastain was named September Teacher of the Month by WXXV & Huntington Learning Center for her work as a special education inclusion teacher at D'Iberville Middle School, where she has spent nearly ten years helping her students succeed.

The Mississippi Department of Education released its accountability report for the 2024-2025 school year and all South Mississippi school districts earned an A or B grade — Biloxi is among the A districts, and Poplarville had the highest graduation rate at 96%.

The Mississippi Department of Education released accountability grades for the 2024‑25 school year that show a drop in public school achievement, with 80.1% of schools and 87.2% of districts earning a C or higher compared to higher percentages last year—fewer schools met the state goal of a C or better rating. State officials plan to seek legislative funding for new literacy and math initiatives and support improved instructional materials to boost student progress.

An 11-year-old girl from Canada, Joya Santarossa, got her wish granted at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport through Make-A-Wish Mississippi and saw dolphins up close after a year of treatment for a brain tumor—she will cap her visit with a Toby Mac concert today at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.
