Welcome to Tiger Nation!

The excitement for the 2024-2025 school year is roaring here at MSB. Administration, teachers, and students are excited about moving into a new era. Our focus for this year will be on systematic change and having a growth mindset. As part of this change, students have the option to take Advanced Placement courses as well as courses such as Culinary Arts. At MSB, we are ensuring our students leave being able to compete in a global society.

Now, let me take a minute and introduce myself. I am your principal, Dr. Teresa A. Barnes. I’m a mother of two children, Taylor and Eric. I have been an educator for twenty-five (25) years and held a position as an administrator in K-12 and at the MS Community College Board. I earned my Ph.D. from Jackson State University in Educational Administration. In addition, I also hold an Ed.S. from Mississippi College in Educational Leadership. I’m passionate about educating all children.
