Monica Namie, administrative secretary at Tupelo High School, has been invited to audition for “America’s Got Talent.”

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so if I make it, it’d be a big deal,” said Namie, who will audition Nov. 5 in Nashville.

The prize for winning “AGT” is $1 million and a show in Las Vegas.

When Namie applied, “I send in a video that I did where I sung with the THS Voices Choir,” she said. “I heard back from them in September.”

Although she has been singing since the age of 4, this is Namie’s first time to audition for a national talent show. As a junior at Mooreville High School, she won a talent contest at the Lee County Agri-Center and went on to perform for a televised broadcast in Memphis.

If she wins, “I’d still work here,” Namie said.
