Upcoming events.
Speech Contest
Join us for our 10th Annual African American Achievers Speech Contest! You will leave inspired, motivated, and encouraged by the life stories shared, and by the hard work of our 1st-12th graders. Let’s cheer them on and be blown away by stories of outstanding overcomers!
Our theme this year is, “Servant Leadership.” We’ll hear about individuals who exercised great leadership while serving others.
