Hannah Wall was selected as the December 2021 Hub City Hero, according to a Wednesday morning news release from the City of Jackson Mayor’s Office.
“I think the best advice is to love the one in front of you,” said Wall. “It’s what I live by every day.”
Wall, born and raised in Jackson, TN, attended and graduated from North Side High School and is currently a sophomore at Union University studying pre-med.
Wall’s nominator said of her, “Hannah is the person we all should be,” and that “she deserves every bit” of recognition.
Wall is heavily involved with her church, North Jackson Baptist Church and partners with her father, County Commissioner Jeff Wall, with the Jackson-Madison County Trunk-or-Treat.
“Not all heroes wear capes, but Hannah is definitely a Hub City Hero,” said Mayor Scott Conger. “Her involvement with the annual Jackson-Madison County Trunk-or-Treat brings joy to many and that’s exactly what heroes do.”
“Hub City Heroes” selflessly and steadily give of their time and talent to improve the lives of others in the community. Recognition as a hero is one small way to thank these public servants for their efforts and it gives honorees the opportunity to raise awareness for causes that are important to them.
