Juniors, Class of 2024: The nomination process for the 2024 Posse Scholarship will soon begin. To become familiar with the Posse Scholarship, please visit: https://www.possefoundation.org/sites/new-orleans
The Posse model works for both students and college campuses and is rooted in the belief that a small, diverse group of talented students—a Posse—carefully selected and trained, can serve as a catalyst for individual and community development.
Attend a Posse info session next Tuesday & Wednesday, 2 & 3 May at 1:30PM in Room 207.
Today, Mr. Allegra's Social Entrepreneurship class participated in a big final project, termed 'Lion Den.' It is a business plan pitch contest akin to the tv show 'Shark Tank'. A panel of local business people served as "lion" investors. Six students presented a business proposal along with the business plan they have been writing all semester in class. The panelists selected a winner (Destiny Brown) and a runner up (Aiden Nelson). Great job! Thanks to judges Mariska Morse, Blake Stanfill, Kevin Wilkins and Sal Mannino.
Congratulations to Ian Barnes, Willow School wide receiver, on receiving the All-Star Athlete award from the National Football Foundation. Way to go, Ian!
