Berkley High School Hosts HBCU Night

On Wednesday, November 8th, the Berkley School District community was invited to attend the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) night hosted by Berkley High School and the Berkley African American Parent Network.

HBCU night included an open house with colleges, sororities, fraternities, and financial aid programs. Students and families were able to meet with representatives from these groups and learn more about what they offer. After the open house students were invited into two different breakout sessions in classrooms where peers shared their HBCU experiences. Parents, families and students were welcomed into the Library Media Center for two question-and-answer panels both consisting of graduates from different HBCUs as well as the parents of students who are currently enrolled at an HBCU. The panelists elaborated on their experiences and provided valuable insight that attendees could learn from. 

HBCU Night is an annual event at Berkley High School coordinated by BHS Assistant Principal Evelyn Coleman and BHS College + Career Counselor Christina Belsky.
