National Championship! Want Some of This?

By

College admissions want to know what national championships
your child has  won!

 Your child needs to know how they stack up, not just on a paper and pencil test, but in face-2-face state-wide and national competition in areas they love and in which they are strong.

Our students are active ACTSO participants and very often state and national champions. 

 We're small, mobile and powerful!


Ife Madzimoyo national champion as an AYA Junior!


Each student is assigned an ACT-SO coach by the end of September,
so they'll be ready to compete in the Winter and Spring.


What is ACT-SO?

The NAACP's Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics is a year-long achievement program designed to recruit, stimulate, and encourage high academic and cultural achievement among African-American high school students.
ACT-SO includes 26 categories of competition in the sciences, humanities, business, and performing and visual arts. More than 260,000 young people have participated from the program since its inception.


AYA... is more than you think!

I don't have this discussion much anymore. Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan settled it for me 40 + years ago, and I've not looked back since. (Dr. Ben's link at the end of this post.) In fact, I've moved forward. But this post isn't about me or religion, per se, and it's certainly not about getting you to change your faith. It's more about "racial scripting" than scripture. It's about religion as a tool for white supremacy and the domination of our people - African people. It's about our believing that God's loves for us (and God's presence in us) is not dependent on us bowing to or ignoring images of white Jesus/God/angels. It's about us caring about the psycholo...

Arkansas town train school officials to carry concealed guns

In a split second, two more ran out of a nearby classroom. "He's got a gun," one of them shouted as Dougan approached with his pistol drawn. Inside, he found one student holding another at gunpoint. Dougan aimed and fired three rounds at the gunman. Preparing for such scenarios has become common for police after a school shooting in Connecticut in December left 20 children and six teachers dead. But Dougan is no policeman. He's the assistant principal of this school in Arkansas, and when classes resume in August, he will walk the halls with a...
