Goza's First Annual Black History Celebration kicked off Thursday, February 22, in the Arkadelphia High School Gym. Our Keynote Speaker was Mar'Tavius Proctor, a University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff Graduate, and candidate for the Pine Bluff City Council at 21 years old.
The Henderson State University Historically Black Fraternity and Sororities also attended and performed. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Phi Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Omega Psi Phi were in attendance. The students decided the winner of a step and stroll contest by cheering on the group they liked the most - Omega Psi Phi was the winner, and received a $100 check! They also LOVED it! Mr. Michael Ankton even got in there for some step and stroll! DJ Last Minute (TJ Nelson) Beats and Tunes provided the music.
Goza Student Council members introduced some of our guests, and presented some with thank-you gifts.
We thank Patterson Federal Credit Union, Clark County NAACP, Greater Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Chicken Express, and Arkadelphia UPS for their generous donations for making this event possible.
Thank you to Mr. Ankton for coordinating this assembly for our students and staff!
