Art Infused Magnet School
By definition, academic transition is part of our educational experience. Typically, we all progress through the system from elementary school, middle school, high school and ultimately college. Education can have a specific meaning but can also conjure up diverse experiences based on the specific individual and the time period in their life. Had I been asked the definition of education from age five to ten, my answer would have simply been Howe Hall AIMS. The Art Infused Magnet School, also known as AIMs, included kindergarten through fifth grade, but most importantly the student population was intentionally kept small.
Due to minimal admissions after kindergarten, we enjoyed a camaraderie and familiarity not present in other schools.

    The 1954 decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, represented a turning point in the history of the United States. (144) Reversing the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling, which said that racially "separate but equal" public institutions were legal, the court held that segregated public schools were "inherently unequal" and denied black children equal protection under the law. It later directed that the state provide desegregated educational facilities "with all deliberate speed." Kansas had been only one of many states that had "separate but equal" schools that were affected by the decision. Although Southern white officials sought to obstruct implementation of the Brown decision, many blacks saw the ruling as a sign that the federal government might intervene on their behalf in other racial matters.…

    FLHS had a mix of students, there were different nationalities, many different ranges of intelligence, and was very diverse. Throughout my years I found that the people who touched me more then anyone and the people I am so blessed to have had the privilege to go to school with were the special education students. Spending 13 years with your peers you are bound to make clicks, and have closer friends as well as dislike certain people. I learned pretty fast that High School isn't like High School musical. Not everything was flowers and smiles.…

    When I first started school at the very young age of six I remember stepping through the stone threshold and into a huge elementary school with diverse attributes like height, nationality, personality and race. It was amazing to see all the diverse people at the school including myself! I thought to myself that I wouldn’t fit into school with the other kindergarteners at first but I actually did because most of the kids in my class lived in my neighborhood. It felt so awesome to be in a diverse class with students that welcomed you with an open heart and even felt better to be getting an education than just sitting at home for five years and sleeping, eating, playing and drinking in a diaper. In the first few weeks of starting elementary school everything was good, I was happy to be away from home and socializing with new people and getting an education. After the…
