Central High School

now—standing in front of you Now, before I begin, I would like to recognize a man who has helped all of us make it to where we are at this moment—Mr. Hines. For the ones who are unaware of who Mr. Hines is, he is the principal that has helped Perry Central High School excel not only academically, but culturally as well. And, since all of you are sitting before me, it is my understanding that none of you stepped on the grass while making

went through Central Medical Magnet High School I have experienced many losses and accomplishments. For 4 years, I have academically excelled in all of my classes whether they were Regulars, Pre-Advancement Placements, Advanced Placements, and College courses from Lamar University. But even with passing these courses, I have managed to use my free time volunteering and giving back to the community that I matured in rather than just focus heavily on academics alone. Even during school, I am obligated

greater. Weight rooms, much like the one I grew to know here in Aberdeen, are the beginning to so many dreams coming true. The bright lights and loud music invite you into a place of team building and hard work. In the weight room at Aberdeen Central High School, the comforting sound of weights hitting the floor became home. I looked to the records on the wall with fondness, motivating me to learn what hard work was and how to be patient in letting it pay off. The black floors and eagles on the platforms

volleyball at Thomas County Central High School, because I switched schools sooner than a year ago. I understand that you along with the rest of the GHSA board care about students not taking advantage of switching schools just to be on an eye-catching sports team. As a player, I respect this and thank you for keeping star athletes from taking mine or my team mates’ spots on the team. It is also understandable that you along with other GHSA board members may not think about school systems like ours that

I will be able to contribute to Central High School with my ability to endure any challenges that Central wishes to place upon me. I also hope that while attending, I will be able to join the various clubs there, attend classes that may help me prepare for my future career as a scientist, and earn scholarships to many universities. Of course, I would also like to contribute my opinions, creativity, and leadership skills in order to help better Central High School. My older siblings contributed

The road to the historic desegregation of Little Rock Central High school began in the 1930’s when the NAACP tasked future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall with fighting segregation in schools. By 1950 he had helped to strike down segregation in universities in several states. In 1951, the NAACP aided parents of black children attending public schools in Topeka, Kansas in attempting to overturn the state’s segregation laws. After a three year court battle, the 1954 Supreme Court case Brown

The Integration of Central High School Little Rock, Arkansas The desegregation of public facilities began with the decision of Brown vs Board of Education in 1954, where the Supreme Court of the United States deemed segregation unlawful and unconstitutional. The country was told that desegregation was to take place "with all deliberate speed". This angered the white community. Violent retaliation was the means used to prevent the integration of blacks into various public facilities. In

like her loss of education because of her movement on integration and the temporary loss of her mom’s job which affected her and her family because she went to a school called Central High. How do you justify such a stressful, life-threatening, and bloodcurdling experience she has been in? I certainly believe Melba’s integration of Central High was not worthwhile. Melba often faced hate and discrimination which often affected her studies and education. This is shown in p157 where it says “I had by then

Little Rock Central High School was one of many segregated schools in America, where only whites were able to attend. In 1957, nine African-American students enrolled for Little Rock Central High, and were expected to integrate the all-white school. Their enrolment was followed by an outburst and the “Little Rock Crisis”. The nine students, known as the “Little Rock Nine”, were refused from entering the school ground by Orval Faubus. This was undeterred from the rule put in place three years earlier

Leake Central High School has provided me with all the necessary coursework to fulfill college admission requirements; however, it does not offer AP or IB courses. Many surrounding schools offers ample honors courses; therefore, colleges are more likely to choose them to fill the prestigious honor college positions. The coursework in the academic courses offered have limited challenging aspects, so I feel that I have a small variety of advanced educational opportunities. ------------------------
