Cochran has maintained a 3.95 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a written letter of athletic aid to play softball at the Copiah-Lincoln College in Wesson this fall.
Cochran has volunteered locally with her school’s Beta Club, keeping a campus “blessing box” stocked with food and other items for people in the community who are in need. She also has donated her time to multiple community service initiatives in association with the school’s Anchor Club, including a winter coat drive and a toy drive for needy children during the holidays.
