Thanks to PREPS! We’re so honored to receive the 2022 Hugh I. Peck Memorial Research Award for the creation of the Partnership Middle School on the campus of Mississippi State University. The award celebrates the collaboration between Mississippi State University, Starkville Oktibbeha School District, and Superintendent Eddie Peasant to construct the state-of-the-art facility that offers a lab-based instructional setting to provide real-world research and professional development experience to pre-service and in-service teachers in the state.
