Alexandria Luckett, a dedicated junior at Canton High School, has been selected to represent her school in the prestigious 2025–26 Madison County Youth Leadership (MCYL) Class.

The announcement was made by the Madison County Business League & Foundation in partnership with the Madison County Economic Development Authority (MCEDA). Each year, one junior from every public, private and parochial school in Madison County—including Jackson Academy and Jackson Prep—is chosen to participate in the program. All participants are residents of Madison County, highlighting the region’s investment in its future leaders.

The MCYL program aims to provide students with a deeper understanding of local career opportunities while developing their leadership skills. Throughout the program, students engage with community and business leaders and gain valuable experiences designed to prepare them for impactful roles in the community.

In addition to leadership development, participants who successfully complete the program are awarded a scholarship, underscoring the program’s commitment to fostering the next generation of Madison County leaders.

“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Alexandria Luckett for this remarkable achievement,” said a Canton High spokesperson. “Her selection reflects her dedication and potential to make a positive impact in our community.”
