Defining Excellence
BSU creates annual Black Excellence project
For the full month of February, BSU is presenting its annual Black Excellence project. This project was created to promote self-esteem in the Black community at ELHS. As an uplifting presentation, students had their headshots taken with their message about Black Excellence, what it means to them, and how they are Black Excellency.
