Hello Students, Parents, Mentors, School Personnel, Supporters, Sponsors and Members,



I pray everyone is staying healthy and safe during this COVID 19 global pandemic. Please see below a statement from The NAACP National ACT-SO Office concerning Local Competitions:



LOCAL COMPETITIONS

In compliance with the CDC recommendations for Large Community Events & Mass Gatherings, the April 30 deadline for completing all local NAACP ACT-SO Competitions has been lifted since almost all local competitions must be postponed at this time. Meaning their will be No Competitions through the end of May at this time. A new deadline will be announced once additional information is available.
