As always, the ceremonies will be held at the Mississippi Coliseum (1207 Mississippi St.). I look forward to being at the Bailey Magnet graduation to support my nephew Quinton. He has dealt with a lot in his life, including ADD, to get to this point, and I am so proud of him. My god-niece Shalia is graduating from Provine, and I am very proud of her as well. As a matter of fact, congratulations to all of the graduates! I wish you well.
