The excitement is real at Mississippi Governor's School! Follow us over at or Mississippi Governor's School social media to keep up with all the excitement!

While classes officially began today, MGS has been in motion for much longer. Our faculty, staff, RAs, and SEAs have spent the past week preparing classrooms, organizing events, learning schedules, solving problems, and getting everything ready for 60 of Mississippi's brightest scholars. Today, the hallways were full, classrooms came alive, and the real work of MGS began. Scholars dove into their courses, started building relationships, and began what promises to be an unforgettable two-week journey.

The W's School of Education and the Center for Education Support are proud to host these incredible students and the dedicated team that makes this experience possible. We're running on purpose, teamwork, caffeine, and just enough chocolate to make it through. Here's to Day 2 and the many memories still to come.

Be a Teacher. Shape the Future. 🌟

Teaching is more than a job. It is a stable, meaningful career rooted in community.

At The W, we prepare educators for careers that offer consistency, purpose, and real connection. Teach in your local schools, build relationships with families, and become part of the community you serve.

It is a career that allows you to make an impact while also being present for your own family.

Stability. Purpose. Community.

One of the best days in teacher education is the first day of Block 3 Residency. 💙

Often called the “internship test drive,” this is the moment our students begin taking off the training wheels and stepping more confidently into leading classrooms on their own.

Block 1 and Block 2 clinical residency experiences help lay the foundation, but Block 3 is something extra special. It is where so much of the learning starts coming together in real time. In the field with Dr. Hope Durst, these future educators receive both mentorship and faculty support while continuing their online coursework and building day-to-day classroom experience.

Watching our students grow from observing and assisting to confidently teaching and leading is one of the greatest parts of this work.

We are so proud of you all. Now on to internship and graduation. YOU CAN DO IT!💙
