Last week, we welcomed to the campus Mississippi Speaker of the House Philip Gunn and Education Committee Chairman Representative John Moore. Our guests were accompanied by MSA’s Foundation Chairman Bill Sones, District 93 Representative Becky Currie and District 53 Representative Vince Mangold. The group stopped at MSA for lunch in historic Elizabeth Cottage, then were led throughout the campus by Arts Ambassadors. MSA thanks our local and state leaders for their support of Mississippi School of the Arts, its mission, and strategic goals.
