Born in 1862 to parents who were slaves in Holly Springs, Mississippi, Ida Bell Wells would enter her childhood, a young lady liberated from servitude after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the 13th Amendment of 1865 freed slaves in the Confederate states of the South and abolished slavery throughout the United States.

With the reintroduction of the Student Center comes the return of the full-service cafeteria, a place for students to grab a lunch or snack in between classes. Since its relocation from the second floor, the larger cafeteria still offers hot meals and other options although the menu and the prices haven’t changed much. 

The beginning of every semester is always busy with students finding their classes, meeting their teachers, forming new groups or returning to old ones, and learning to navigate in a new environment. 

Shyann Lester's art titled "A New Light," among others, were featured in the High School Student Art Exhibition that ran through Feb 19 in the new art gallery space in AI286.
