THEI Celebrates the Graduation of 9 Students from Dyersburg State Community College

On January 27, 2022, the stage was set for day that will not soon be forgotten. THEI celebrated the graduation of nine students from Dyersburg State Community College. The three class valedictorians, with perfect 4.0 grade point averages, each gave an address. We were also fortunate to have Education Trust Justice Fellow William Freeman speak as well. There's so much more we could say, but the pictures tell the story far better than we can.
