PTHS Junior Board members, African American Leadership Club Members, and Student Equity Advisory Council members met with McCracken County High School leaders on March 3 to discuss an insensitive racially charged photo sent after the PTHS Basketball District Championship Game.
Students present were:
PTHS: Ma’Hali Brown, Savannah Caldwell, Justice Campbell, Chandler Christ, Dasia Garland, Nadia Mayes, Kayleigh Powell, Terrance Robinson, Synia Shaw Laster, Jackson Williams
MCHS: Quintarious Bailey, Abbie Betts, Esley Cornelius, Avery Collins, Zoe Houston, Hannah Locke, Ava Kelly, Donyea Shaw, Lamar Wilson
Students tackled the uncomfortable conversation with respect and authentic feedback of the perceptions of both schools and produced ideas to promote unity among the schools during athletic events. One of the many ideas was the same unity banner that would reflect the words “Crimson & Blue not Black and White”, an idea offered by AALC President Savannah Caldwell.
Also present at the meeting were the principals of both schools, the assistant superintendents of both districts, Shonda Burrus, PPS Chief Equity Officer and Stacey Thomas, MCS Diversity Coordinator.
