Our community partner, Calling All Brothers hosted their 2026 African and African-American History Bee in which 3 of our middle schools were represented by teams of 8th grade boys who participated in the annual Jeopardy-style history trivia contest. HPS is so proud of our scholars from McDonough Middle School, Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, and Milner Middle School who raised the bar for Black History! Big congratulations to the McDonough Bears who earned the trophy in this important knowledge contest!
