Starkville High seniors sign on for post-graduation plans
Mary Buckner, a Starkville High School senior, elected Tuesday morning to sign with Mississippi State University.
She won’t be suiting up in an athletic uniform when she gets to campus. Her college career will be purely academic. But Buckner relished the chance to declare in front her classmates she would be a Bulldog.
