Fallen Heroes
During World War II, an estimated 4,187 men from the state of Mississippi gave their lives, but many of their stories are unknown. MSMS students in the University U.S. History course are tasked with uncovering some of these stories. Using primary document research, students created websites to honor and rekindle the memories of these heroes.

"Tales from the Crypt"
"Tales From the Crypt" is a performance and research project created by the late Mr. Carl Butler in 1991. He envisioned a project in which students would combine the best of scholarly research with the best of dramatic performance. Students involved with the project spend a semester embarking upon primary document research concerning the life of someone buried at the Friendship Cemetery in Columbus. The cemetery is home to thousands of people who lived, worked, and died in the friendly city.

8th of May Emancipation Celebration
As a class project, small groups of students in the MSMS African American History class conduct primary and secondary research to uncover the experiences of thematically-related groups of individuals buried in Sandfield Cemetery during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From the research, students construct an original performance script to share their significant findings and to increase our understanding of the African American Experience during that time period.
