This week’s Student Spotlight shines on Kelly Foister. Kelly has attended Pelham City Schools since third
grade. She is in FFA and on Yearbook Staff. She has maintained a 3.4 GPA, and she is on AB honor roll.
She plans on at-
tending Bainbridge College after high school and becom-ing a registered
nurse. She works at Foister’s BBQ and has worked
there for three years. Kelly says she will miss her
friends when she graduates. She loves Pelham High because she gets to socialize with friends and gets to see her favorite
teacher, Mr. Todd. By Carrie Nobles
This week’s Hornet Spotlight also shines brightly on
Denzel Jackson. Denzel has been a great addition to PHS for four years. He has been most active in sports
during his school years; however, he has also been in FCA all four years and has been in FBLA his senior year. Denzel has played
football for four years and played basketball his sophomore year. The thing Denzel is going to
miss most about the class of 2013 is his football team and being
their teammate. Outside of school he likes to play football with his son and lift weights. Denzel has been
defensive caption of the football team for two years. His hobbies are football, basketball, and playing cards. After graduation Denzel plans on going to Concordia
College to play football and major in Accounting and Entrepreneurship. By Patsy Burdette

Hornet Spotlight Shines on Kelly Foister and Denzel Washington—Class of 2013
Our very own seniors
Shydarrius Williams and Ann Atkins were selected to play in the 2013 All-Star
game. Also Shydarrius will be participating in the 3-point shootout before the All-Star game. Unfortunate-
ly, Ann has a conflict and will be unable to play. However, Shydarrius will be
there playing with all his heart, and
hopefully, he will be recruited by Division 1 and Division 2 colleges’ coaches. The All-Star game will be
played March 23rd in Albany, GA at Darton College. Please come out and support our senior, Shydarrius Williams. We wish you the very best,
Shydarrius. Play hard! By Josh Russell

Literary Team Competition Mr. Hill’s Economics classes have been working on a project called “Shark Tank” this semester. Shark Tank is where a panel of business
executives and investors (called 'Sharks') consider offers and listen to pitches from entrepreneurs and small business owners seeking fund-ing for their business, products, or services. The groups that were
assigned in his class presented their ideas to a panel of judges. Many of the groups had interesting ideas to pitch. Such products as Dance Juice, Super Box, and Smark Water were presented to the judges. The judges were the faculty and staff of PHS. The purpose of this project is
to help students learn what it takes to make it in the business world.

Shark Tank—With Mr. Hill Mitchell County 4-H went to Project Achievement in Eatonton at Rock Eagle 4-H Center on February 1-2, 2013. The 4-H’ers prepared a portfo-
lio or resume of their activities from 2012. In addition, they prepared either a presentation on the topic of their choice, performed a song,
danced, played a musical instrument or prepared a recipe. Marcia Harper
placed second in Senior Communications. Cheyenne Brooks was third in Senior Sports. Savannah Swilley placed fourth in Senior Festive Food for
Health. Courtney Batchelor will represent Mitchell County 4-H in July
during the 2013 State 4-H Congress to compete for state honors. This month the 4-H’ers will show
their appreciation to their teach-ers supporting 4-H in Mitchell
County. By: Antonio Green, Jr.
