By Emma Crawford Kent Daily Journal OXFORD – An Oxford High School student was named one of Mississippi’s top two youth volunteers of 2017 for leading an effort to improve a scenic hiking trail between the Ole Miss University Museum and the historic home of William Faulkner. Luke Kelly, a junior at OHS, was awarded the designation by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. As a state honoree, Kelly will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an all-expense-paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where he will join the top two honorees from each of the other states and the District of Columbia for four days of national recognition events. During the trip to the nation’s capital, ten students will be named national top youth volunteers of 2017. Kelly was nominated for the award by the Lafayette County 4-H Club. The University Museum at Ole Miss asked Kelly’s Boy Scout troop to work on the trail, called “Bailey’s Woods Trail,” and he volunteered to head the project.
