💙💛 THE HILL OF ENCOURAGEMENT — WHAT A WAY TO START THE SCHOOL YEAR! 💛💙

The Benjamin E. Mays High School Back-to-School Initiative was truly a beautiful display of what happens when alumni, community leaders, supporters, and Raider family come together with one purpose — to pour love, positivity, and encouragement into our students! 🙌🏾

And when we say the Mays Alumni showed up AND showed out… we mean it! 💙💛 Once a Raider, ALWAYS a Raider!

We were also honored to have Mayor Andre Dickens, Greg Clay, Miss Mays 2025–2026, and so many incredible members of our community join us in welcoming our students and reminding them that they are supported, celebrated, and surrounded by a village that believes in them.

The smiles, high-fives, words of encouragement, signs, energy, and Raider pride created an atmosphere our students could FEEL. The impact was overwhelmingly positive, uplifting, and encouraging — exactly the tone we wanted to set for the school year. ✨

This is what community looks like.
This is what alumni engagement looks like.
This is what Leading With Love looks like. 💛

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make The Hill of Encouragement such a meaningful success. May our students carry that same love and encouragement with them throughout the entire school year.

It takes a village to raise a Raider — and our village showed up! 🐾💙💛
