Students from STEM Academy and Chester High highlight leadership, trips and a Black Wall Street exhibit
Summary
STEM Academy senior Daniel Stewart and Chester High senior Sakai Miller reported on National Honor Society inductions, college and museum trips, student honor ceremonies, an adaptive esports program and a student-created Black Wall Street Museum exhibit at Chester High.
Two student representatives used the meeting’s presentation time to outline student activities and accomplishments. Daniel Stewart, senior class president at STEM Academy, said the school will induct new National Honor Society members in April, is planning senior activities and a late-April or early-May trip to the National Great Blacks Wax Museum in Baltimore, and has been encouraging attendance and academic focus among seniors.
"As president, I have been uplifting my class to be more motivated to come to school, to not skip class, and to have better attendance and great attitudes," Stewart said.
Sakai Miller, Chester High student representative, described participation in a "Senator for the Day" civics exercise at Widener University, a midday lounge program using clipper coins, recent honors ceremonies that recognize academic achievement and improvement, the start of adaptive esports in the 12-plus program, and a student-built Black Wall Street Museum exhibit in collaboration with the Chester Historical Museum Association. Miller invited board members to visit the library display.
Both students described events and programs aimed at increasing student engagement and recognizing academic success; the items were informational and no board votes were taken on student presentations.
