Thursday evening at historic Calfee Park in Pulaski, the Pulaski County High School Class of 2025 and their friends and families gathered to recognize some of the many accomplishments the group has reached. The first announcement was the naming of the Most Valuable Cougar.
The Most Valuable Cougar Award is the highest honor presented to a Pulaski County High School student. Each year, nominees are selected and presented to the school at the annual Investments in Learning/Commit to Graduate assembly.
The five seniors selected as nominees this year included Jordan English, Jeremiah Turner, Noa Dobbins, Ethan Easter, and Chase Lawrence.
With their class and teachers standing behind them, the official announcement was made proclaiming Chase Lawrence as the 2025 Most Valuable Cougar.
