Cox Communications hosted the third annual Cox Inspirational Student Hero Awards yesterday, Monday, April 24th, at the Bibb County School District’s Professional Learning Center in Macon.  Cox recognized 22 students from Bibb County who have overcome extreme challenges in life to serve as an inspiration to their teachers, administrators and fellow students.
