Student Life


Students at Benjamin Carson enjoy the new uniform.
BENJAMIN CARSON

New Polos, New Attitude

Benjamin Carson High School students’ uniforms used to consist of white button downs and a large variety of nursing scrubs, but the 2016-2017 school year changed all that because the staff of Ben Carson came up with a new addition: blue polos.


RENAISSANCE

She's our prince!

Renaissance High School junior Jamaria Johnson ran for homecoming prince -- and won. Traditionally, males run for duke, lord, prince, or king, while females run for dutchess, lady, princess or queen.

CASS TECH

Jesse Jackson inspires Cass Tech seniors to vote

As part of the National Registration Day on September 7, civil activist Reverend Jesse Jackson along with Mayor Mike Duggan and other political leaders, gathered at Cass Technical High School for a rally stressing the importance of voting to CT seniors. Reverend Jesse Jackson expressed the importance of young people voting and encouraging others to vote.









Spirit Week this year sent a subtle wave of hype for the school's pep rally and homecoming dance. The week also caused students to realize they should never be afraid to step out of their comfort zones once in awhile and try something new.
UNIVERSITY PREP

Students show spirit at UPrep

Most would consider spirit week to be an opportunity to have fun and show school spirit. Two students out of the crowd have demonstrated that they both have the right idea when it comes to spirit week.








Students said they want to try to make the language “cool” again because they believe that ancient Rome and Greece were such an interesting time.
CRISTO REY

In pursuit of ancient knowledge, students are awarded for Latin chops

Dressed in white togas and laurel crowns, students in Detroit Cristo Rey’s Latin III class performed a Kardashian-mocking skit called “Keeping up with Julian's” that won them second place at the University of Michigan’s second annual Copley Latin Day. But, the trip wasn’t just about who could release their inner Meryl Streep or Johnny Depp the best, the primary purpose of Latin Day is to get students from the Ann Arbor and Detroit areas involved in Latin and Roman civilization. Students “get to experience the language in a different way,” said Nick Bolig, a Detroit Cristo Rey Latin teacher.
