The Marching Chiefs had an amazing time on Saturday. They had the opportunity to learn what it takes to be a part of the Benedict College Marching Band. They, along with a few hundred other students, rehearsed and performed with the band at their football game.

We also had the chance to see Jamari Smith. It was great to see him and see how much he's grown in so little time.

Makahi Tillman also auditioned to be a part of the marching band and received a scholarship offer! It was an on-the-spot audition, so I am very proud of him.

Thank you again for this opportunity. I, and the students, had a great time and look forward to next year.

Students from the McCormick Magnet School of the Arts put their creativity and artistic skills to work designing and creating sets for the Green Curtains’ production of Nunsense. This collaboration provided students with a wonderful opportunity to apply their talents beyond the classroom while supporting the local performing arts community.

Help me congratulate Mrs. Katherine Myers, digital arts instructor; she has earned Adobe’s Creative Educator Leader recognition. This recognition highlights her expertise in strengthening students’ creativity, critical thinking, and digital media skills. Through Adobe training, Myers explored ways to bring creative projects into classrooms across subjects—such as making a video to explain a science concept or designing a poster to bring history to life. The goal is to help students express their ideas clearly and build skills they can use in school and future careers. Congratulations, Ms. Myers! This will continue to help MHS build CTE programs.
