The Jackson area Star Trek fan association, the USS Haise, raised funds to provide scholarships for French Camp Academy's summer astronomy camp to encourage young people to study space science. Chastain students Emily Gomez and Elena Voisin were selected as winners of the "Reach for the Stars" Astronomy Camp Scholarship. Each applicant submitted an essay describing their purpose for attending astronomy camp and what they hoped to learn, along with a letter of recommendation from their science teacher. Having secured funding, the two Chastain students will take part in camp activities at French Camp Academy, June 20-26, 2010. The USS Haise is named after Apollo 13 astronaut and Mississippi native Fred Haise, and the scholarships are awarded in his honor. Participating in the scholarship presentation (as pictured above, from left to right) are USS Haise Commanding Officer Lucy Ferron, Chastain science teacher Johnnie Canalis, scholarship winner Emily Gomez, USS Haise Chief of Science Scott Crawford, USS Haise Chief of Engineering Bethany Theilman, scholarship winner Elena Voisin, and USS Haise Medical Chief Janet Bullock.
