In honor of Black History Month, on this Friday February 11th, 2022, Students are allowed to dress like their favorite Black HISTORICAL figure. Students who do not dress out must wear the original school uniform.
If you have students who do not identify as Black, they may still participate by dressing as historical figures that has been allies to the Black community. For ideas, please feel free to contact me via email.
Representatives from the Yearbook Committee and the SGA Media Liaisons will go around school throughout the day to take pictures of students who dressed like their favorite historical figures.
