Just a Quick Look Into What I do
The Central Catholic Black Action Society is a group I started to improve the academic achievement of Black students at Central Catholic. The group focuses on building a positive racial identity for Black students by bringing Black culture into the Central Catholic curriculum through social events and analyzing topics from an Afrocentric perspective. We also work to build the cultural competency of all students enrolled at Central Catholic. After two meetings, we drafted a mission statement and have presented a Black culture fact each day to the entire student body. Students in this group hope to have an average GPA of a 3.0, which is higher than the 2.7 average for Black students at Central Catholic students. In the 83 years of Central Catholic’s history this is the first time Black culture has been actively involved in Central’s curriculum.
