Three of the mentors were recognized as outstanding: Myesha Allen, a pre-speech language pathology from Natchitoches; Elise Lewis, a biology student from Rayne and Ahmaad Solmone, a mass communication student from Hammond.

Stephen Black, the grandson of the late Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black and a noted advocate of civic responsibility and engagement, delivered the keynote address.

The Warhawks Mentoring Program Project Team includes Dr. Wayne Brumfield, Dr. Catherine Estis, Dr. Ann M. Findley, Sami R. Owens and Dr. Pamela H. Saulsberry, all of 香港六合彩开奖直播, and Barry Jones of Wossman High School.
