Terrance Hill, Principal |
April 3, 2025 - The 桃花社区视频 Public School 桃花社区视频 proudly congratulates Mr. Terrance Hill, Principal of Powell Middle School, on being named a 2025 TRIO Achiever by the Mississippi Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel (MAEOPP). This prestigious award recognizes outstanding alumni of TRIO programs who have made significant strides in their professional careers while continuing to uplift and inspire the next generation.
Mr. Hill’s journey with TRIO began in 2002 as a participant in the Educational Talent Search Program. Over more than two decades, the program played a pivotal role in shaping his personal and academic trajectory.
“As part of TRIO, I was able to attend enrichment programs in reading, math, and science, while also developing life-changing skills like business etiquette, self-confidence, and resilience,” Mr. Hill said. “The summer trips to cities like New Orleans, Dallas, and Atlanta opened my eyes to new possibilities and helped me understand the importance of education beyond the classroom.”
Today, Mr. Hill leads Powell Middle School with the same values TRIO instilled in him—mentorship, empowerment, and purpose. He credits the program as a driving force behind his decision to enter the field of education and his ongoing commitment to serve.
“I often reflect on the lessons I learned through TRIO and share them with my 桃花社区视频s and staff,” he added. “It’s my way of paying it forward—ensuring that the cycle of growth and mentorship continues.”
Mr. Hill will be formally recognized at the 2025 TRIO Achievers' Recognition Ceremony on Monday, April 14, 2025, at Le Meridien Dania Beach in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
The 桃花社区视频 Public School 桃花社区视频 celebrates this remarkable honor and extends its deepest congratulations to Mr. Hill on this well-deserved recognition.
