New Orleans Charter Science and Math, “Sci High”, Celebrates Black History Month with Theme: The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity

New Orleans Charter Science and Math High School “Sci High” will honor Black History Month for the month of February with a series of planned activities. Sci-High joins the Association for the Study of African American Life and History in recognizing and acknowledging the contributions of the Black Diaspora with the theme The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity.

Essay Writing Contest: Students are invited to write an essay about “The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity” with cash prices for the winners.
Black History Program: Sci High is partnering with the New Orleans Public Library to screen their Black History Program.

The month will culminate with Black History Spirit Week. The Sci High community will celebrate Black History with the following activities:
