"We are the front lines of truth advocacy. Major media outlets have traded truth for sensationalism, and online news sites have no real legal concerns to keep them in check. Digital text is not ink. The community newspapers are left as the only legally challenged body of information. We cannot afford to lie. We cannot afford to be inaccurate. We are the last stand for freedom of the press. We are the last of the true journalists."

BCHS Graduate initiated into prestigious honor society

Leanna Kornegay, a 2008 graduate of Bibb County High School, was among the top few students at Troy University to be tapped for membership in Mortar Board, a prominent national honor society for college seniors. 

Leanna is majoring in elementary education at Troy University, from which she plans to graduate in May 2012. She was selected for Mortar Board as a result of her outstanding academic achievements, devotion to service and exceptional leadership skills.

In addition to Mortar Board, Leanna is also involved in Alpha Delta Pi sorority, serves as a resident assistant and is on the Relay for Life committee. She has been presented with numerous honors including being named: to the chancellor’s list, to the provost’s list and as a chancellor’s scholarship recipient. Leanna is also a member of Alpha Lamba Delta, an honor society for first-year college students. She is the daughter of Donna Kornegay and Sammy Kornegay of Centreville.

Mortar Board is the premier national honor society recognizing college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 229 chartered collegiate chapters with nearly a quarter of a million initiated members across the nation. The Spires chapter at Troy University was chartered in 1979.

Mortar Board provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to colleges and universities and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Notable Mortar Board members include distinguished politician Condoleezza Rice, Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees and Suzy’s Zoo creator Suzy Spafford.  Learn more about Mortar Board at www.mortarboard.org.
