Ninth grade students, who reside or go to school in the City of Biloxi, participate in the Junior Leadership Biloxi Program. The group selected, attends afterschool sessions on Manners & Etiquette, Military Awareness, Business in Biloxi, Cultural Diversity, Preparing for Success and Medical & City Government. Participants were chosen, based upon the information completed in the application, by an anonymous selection committee. They participate in a variety of community activities and reflect the diversity of the student body. At the end of the program students that have attended every session will graduate and are presented with a diploma.
