Ella Ballard Named 2022 DCHS STAR Student
Congratulations to DCHS Senior, Ms. Ella Ballard on being named the 2022 STAR Student. The STAR program recognizes high school seniors who have the highest SAT score among their graduating class. Each STAR student may select their STAR Teacher and Ella selected Ms. Tina Roberts, who was her fifth-grade teacher at Davis Elementary. We would also like to thank the Trenton-Dade Optimist Club for serving as the local host for the STAR recognition program. Pictured above are (front row) Don Townsend, Ella Ballard, Tina Roberts, Tammy Ballard, Carolyn Ballard, (back row) Brandon Ballard, and Byron Ballard.
