Black History Month

As we celebrate Black History Month, it is essential to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of Black individuals throughout history. 

The new website showcases all of the incredible artwork created by our talented students for the logo contest.  Their designs beautifully capture the spirit of Black History Month. 

Their artwork will also be prominently displayed on the bulletin board in the school lobby for the month of February.

We encourage you to visit the website and explore their incredible work. Click on the photo to view the site.

*****All BHM apparel will be delivered Tuesday.
