Como, MS

Como is a Panola County town where the Mississippi Delta starts to give way to north Mississippi hill country. Memphis is about 45 miles north, but the local map runs through the North Panola School District, with Como Elementary and junior high in town and the high school in Sardis. The town's character comes from that edge-of-two-regions setting: Delta flatland nearby, rolling hills underfoot, and a school district stitching several small communities together.
