🎀 South Side Pink Out Night! 🎀 South Side was honored to recognize Teresa Camper during our Pink Out basketball game as she continues her courageous fight against breast cancer. We presented Teresa with flowers to show our love and support. 💗 We also took a special moment to honor the memory of Laura “Lulu” Thompson, who lost her battle with breast cancer. Flowers were presented to her sister, Tina Wright, in loving memory of Lulu. 💐 Tonight was about more than basketball. It was about strength, courage, love, and remembrance. 💕 🎀 We fight together. We remember always. 🎀

🎓 A Mustang Making a Difference! 🐎 South Side was excited to welcome former Mustang Noah Archer as he spoke to our CTE students today! Noah shared his educational journey, including earning his degree in Electrical Engineering and his master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He also shared about his career as a process engineer at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Jackson, TN, where Toyota produces aluminum engine blocks and transmission cases. Noah currently works as a process engineer overseeing their transmission product lines. We are proud to see one of our former Mustangs pursuing their goals and inspiring the next generation! Thank you, Noah, for taking the time to share your experiences and encourage our younger students as they explore future career opportunities! 🧡🛠️
