Celebrating Black History in Half Hollow Hills
The Hills West AASO club highlights famous Black entertainers.
Throughout Half Hollow Hills, February marks a month-long celebration of Black History and the rich contributions of African Americans. At High School West, the AASO club, led by Advisor Juanita Simpson, held their annual performance for the community and school assemblies for students, featuring Black entertainment, in song and dance. Many of the acts were also highlighted at the District’s Unity Fair, where a moving tribute to the sudden passing of Whitney Houston was acknowledged.
