Скачать или смотреть Shoemaker HBCU Spotlight

Shoemaker High School chose to celebrate the beginning of Black History Month by recognizing the importance of HBCUs to our nation. The first Wednesday of the month was selected to commemorate the theme of Black Colleges by wearing a favored HBCU shirt. HBCU is any “historically black college or university” that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary [of Education]. Although HBCUs were originally founded to educate black students, their diversity has increased over time. In 2015, students who were either white, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, or Native American made up 22% of total enrollment at HBCUs. There are 107 colleges in the United States that are identified by the US Department of Education as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The Greywolf Nation salutes all HBCUs.
