Our Call to Action:

Effectively Educating Black

Males
The goals of this session will embrace our call to action as
educators, professionals and a community to uplift, transform,
inspire and educate our black males. Based on our high school
communitys journey over the last four years, we have learned
it takes more than teacher lounge conversations and district
committees to address the achievement gap that exists among
black males.
