Special to The Canton News 

Each year, Holmes Community College faculty and staff members select the winners for the school’s prestigious Hall of Fame. This year, the Hall of Fame inductees from the Ridgeland Campus included Brooke Barron of Brandon, Colin Crosby of Ridgeland, Cedravious Davis of Canton, Tori Dew of Canton, Jaden Gonzalez of Brandon, Mary Katherine Hamilton of Madison, Analise Johnson of Sandhill, Graham Lambert of Canton, Presleigh Powers of Carthage, Jaycelyn Russ of Madison, Camille Scott of Brandon and Patrick Vallean of Olive Branch. 

Cedravious Davis, son of Trenina Davis, is an art major who loves to draw and design various things. He is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and has been on the Dean’s List both years at Holmes. Davis has also volunteered for and donated to the Stewpot nonprofit organization. Upon finishing his time at Holmes, he plans to attend Mississippi State University to further his education in business marketing. Davis recently established a baking business, Ceds Creationz LLC.

“I have been baking for years, so being able to do that was such a huge goal for me!” Davis said. “Although I do have my own business, my ultimate goal is to be an established creative director, so that’s what I am working towards. I would love to work in the entertainment industry.”

Tori Dew, daughter of Delsey and Andy Dew, is a kinesiology major. She is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and has participated in trying to expand the Baptist Student Union chapter at the Ridgeland Campus. Dew works part-time at a daycare, where she takes care of two-year-olds. She also volunteers at her church with community/church projects, is a member of her church’s praise team and serves at the Ministry Center every other Sunday, which is a ministry that provides food and clothing to families in need. As a freshman, Dew worked full-time at Panera Bread in Ridgeland.

“After Holmes, I will continue my education at Mississippi State University to obtain my bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. Following that, I plan on attending the University of Mississippi Medical Center to earn my Doctorate of Occupational Therapy.

Graham Lambert, son of Lori and Travis Lambert, is a communications major. He is an Ambassador, Student Government Association president, Phi Theta Kappa chapter officer, Rotoract member and President’s List Scholar. He is also a Dean’s Scholarship recipient and served as an escort for the 2023 Homecoming Court.

“I plan to transfer to Mississippi State after Holmes,” Lambert said. “After I graduate with my bachelor’s, I would love to work at a college in the recruiting department.”
