Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000) is considered to be one of the most revered poets of the 20th century. She was the first Black author to win the Pulitzer Prize (in 1950, for Annie Allen), and she served as poetry consultant to the Library of Congress, becoming the first Black woman to hold that position. She was also the poet laureate of the State of Illinois, and many of her works reflected the political and social landscape of the 1960s, including the civil rights movement and the economic climate.

Next Friday, February 24, we will be holding a Lockdown Drill on campus during the school day. This is a vital training for our staff and students should the need ever arise. Please take note of this day and feel free to discuss with your students that the drill will be taking place next Friday.
