More About Me?? I'd Love to!

As a student who hopes to combine business, educational studies, and Black studies in college, I have already begun this process through the work on my senior thesis. My comparative study entitled, "What's Race Have to do With it? A study of Black male academic achievement at Central Catholic" focuses on culture's role in the gap between Black and White students in honors classes at Central Catholic. I have conducted interviews with department chairs, parents of honors and non-honors students and Black and White honors students to examine their experiences at Central. I am looking to see if there are differences in their respective experiences at Central. Additionally, I have read a wide range of sources that discuss the role of culturally responsive education academic achievement. The end goal of my research is to produce a model for Central Catholic that will improve the academic achievement of Black students at Central.
