Honoring a Living Legend: Mrs. Valena McCants

(Mobile, Alabama)--It brings me so much joy to celebrate a true trailblazer in education and guidance, Mrs. Valenia McCants. Long before the title “life coach” became a trend, she was one, pouring into students with wisdom, grace, and purpose at C.F. Vigor High School in the City of Prichard, Alabama.

Mrs. McCants is 100 years old and God has blessed her with a remarkable life and legacy. Her influence runs deep, touching not only my life but also reaching across three generations of my family. That kind of impact is rare, and it speaks volumes about her dedication, brilliance, and heart.

I'm thrilled to see her celebrated in Our Southern Souls magazine. I encourage all my Vigor High classmates and fellow educators across Mobile to take a moment and read HERstory—a story of strength, compassion, and fierce femininity.

Thank you, Mrs. McCants, for lighting the way for so many of us.
