a multi-cultural student body and its surrounding community through
events celebrating African American History Month, Asian American
Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Women's History Month and Veterans'

dollar renovation project to improve the mechanical and electrical
infrastructure; replace the roof; upgrade public restrooms and the
