Students in AP African American Studies recently demonstrated their understanding of African history by creating African ceremonial masks. The course is designed to teach students about history, literature and the arts so students used their understanding of civilizations like Zimbabwe, Mali, Songhai, Ghana and Kilwa and others to create their masks.
African masks are an important ritual in many of Africa's historical civilizations, as they were used in ceremonies and celebrations such as weddings and royal gatherings. Different African nations celebrated their culture through their masks, and they have become part of their history, similar to the traditional wardrobes worn by many other civilizations throughout world history.
Enjoy these pictures of our talented students and their beautiful masks!

Milton Glows Gold in September and so does MPS!
Milton Glows Gold (MGG) was created by the MCM Fund to raise awareness and support for kids battling cancer and to support families with financial assistance. This year, the MCM Fund is hosting Milton Glows Gold in loving memory of Emily L. Butt, who passed away on February 27, 2024, after a courageous battle with leukemia. Emily's vibrant spirit and infectious smile were a gift to all who knew her during her precious eight years of life.
All details on Milton Glows Gold can be found here (www.miltonglowsgold.org) or at the link in our profile. Let's Glow Gold this September, Milton!
