Birney Elementary School
The students at Birney Elementary are proud of their Arts teacher, Maria Stephenson, who was recently honored with the regional “Barbie Art Teacher of the Year Award” from Mattell Toys and the Entertainment Industry. Mrs. Stephenson was judged not only on her teaching skills, background and extensive summer arts program for youngsters, part of her judging criteria came from her students. Students submit an essay telling why their teacher should win. Four of the students at Birney, Autumn Woolman, Anthony Grimmett, Markel Haralson and Veronica Turner, had their essays selected out of over 4,000 that were submitted. Their efforts not only helped Mrs. Stephenson, but won each student a $100 prize. Mrs. Stephenson’s award was a $5,000 grant to the school from the sponsors. She is one of 20 regional winners.

Boykin Continuing Education Center
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will be the keynote speaker at the 37th Annual Recognition Ceremony for 25 students at the Nancy M. Boykin Continuing Education Center. All of the students at Boykin are either pregnant or have had babies and have truly put forth a great deal of extra effort to complete their high-school education. The seniors will officially be awarded a diploma from their high school of origin or the Katherine Ferguson Academy.

Central High School
It is officially the oldest high school in the District, tracing its beginnings back to two rooms in a building on Miami street in 1868. The building that is now called Detroit Central High School is going to undergo a face lift, inside and out. The Groundbreaking Ceremony, which was attended by many dignitaries and alumni of the school, marked the official beginning of work at the site. The project is expected to be completed in 2005.
