Central High School’s very first Black empowerment magazine, Afrocentric, is a place to empower Black students and share our voices, words, art, and opinions. Too often, the voices of Black people are stifled and overlooked, so this magazine is meant to magnify them.

We will meet every other Wednesday to discuss a book we have previously selected. This will be a fun opportunity to relax after school, read a wide variety of literature and talk to other people who enjoy reading!
