Black Excellence Through the Ages.
Presented last night by the students of the Black Student Union at Center High School. An amazing performance. Created, directed, and performed 100% by students.
They spoke from the mind and they spoke from the heart. They talked of pride and they talked of struggle. They celebrated excellence and they called for equity. They sang, they danced, they drummed. They performed as a family.
Enjoy the photos. Video and more stories to come.

Four Center students are going to DECA INTERNATIONALS!!!
DECA is a national program to help high school students learn and practice skills that can be used in business management, marketing, and entrepreneurship. In addition to skills learned in the classroom, part of the program is competition in a variety of program areas. Our team of 28 members participated earlier this spring in regional competition, with 8 members qualifying for the State level. Four of those earned the opportunity to travel to the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) later this spring in Anaheim, California!
Josephine Mosby & Emma Willard competed in Business Law and Ethics Team Decision Making. For competition they were required to take a 100-question exam where Josie Mosby was awarded the top test score in this category. After the exam, they competed in a Business Law & Ethics Scenario Role Play in front of a Business Professional. Their combined scores gave them a 4th place finish and a qualification to Internationals.
Susan Besong & Scholar Besong competed in the Independent Business Plan, where they developed a written business plan, business investment pitch deck, and prototyped their product. Their incredible idea and presentation received 3rd place at MO DECA State conference and also a qualification to ICDC.
Congratulations to all of our business students and best of luck at the next level!
