BLACK HISTORY COMMITTEE

Advisors -  Ms. Jazmin Santos/ Mr. Matt Braz/ Ms. Nerida Vargas

Meeting Days and Times: Bi-weekly Thusdays (2:20-3:20) (location TBD)

The mission of the Black History Committee is to INSPIRE, EDUCATE, and UNITE the SHS community and beyond! We strive to build a sense of community and collaboration amongst individuals from all backgrounds while educating students, staff, and community members of the vast contributions the Black diaspora has made on the world. As we broaden the worldview of the Shrewsbury High School student body through the analysis of historical events we seek to create a more inclusive and welcoming community.
 Throughout the year we will host community events to engage the student body in a variety of cultural activities that shape the Black diaspora. We would also like to collaborate with other clubs. During the month of February in celebration of Black History Month the committee sponsors an all-school assembly, as well as art and writing contests or school wide creative installations.
