Anti-racism = addressing educational inequities. Justice Scholars is on it. These are a few of the beautiful Black scholars who wrote a 15p justice research paper (despite pandemic), earned 4K @PPSnews Westinghouse scholarship, and are college bound! @PittEducation IN COMMUNITY

Our @PPSnews Westinghouse students engaged in deep discussion with Westinghouse alumni Angela Mike. Using film and stories, we unearthed the beauty of the history of “The House” and discussed what it can mean for the future. Time to build! Thank you @pps_cte and @PittCECHomewood

Our Justice Scholars from @PPSnews Westinghouse were fantastic tutors at The Makers Clubhouse at Faison this week. We did a brief Simple Interactions training...they did “serve and return” so well #futureteachers @PittEducation #justACTION @PittPACS

Great work from our partners @PittPACS!!! Our Homewood youth have access to so many amazing opportunities thanks to projects like P.A.C.S.
When asked, what is 1 thing you are going to do this school year to prepare for college Westinghouse Academy 10th grade students replied, "Work harder" & "Take advantage of all the opportunities I have". #GroupMentoringSession #JusticeScholarsInTheMaking @PittSocialwork @PPSnews
Shout out @PittPACS and the amazing work you do with youth in Homewood! We loved hearing awesome stories from the Collge in High School teachers and watching students beam as they shared what college they were attending next year. Keep up the hard work 🙌🏽✊🏽👏🏽@PittSocialwork

In Pittsburgh, we have created a Public Safety Academy in partnership with @PPSnews at Westinghouse High School. Each graduate receives a diploma & EMT certification. We receive a talent pool for future Pittsburgh Police, Fire and EMS

During workshops at Pitt archives, students learned about Nate Smith, Jr. who advocated for construction jobs for blacks in Pittsburgh. Fascinating story! Nate, who never went to high school but grew up in Homewood, has an honorary diploma from Westinghouse. @PittPACS @PittCEC
