Please join in celebrating the accomplishments of Dr. Melvin Hayden, who currently serves as an Assistant Principal at Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence. His remarkable dedication to inspiring students toward their aspirations, even in the face of formidable obstacles, is an example of excellence. The distinguished honor that awaits Dr. Hayden at the upcoming Black SEL Summit Gala on September 28 in Durham, North Carolina is a testament to his exceptional contributions.
Black SEL recognizes that Black students face a unique set of challenges related to racism, bias, and marginalization. Given the ongoing racial trauma and stress many black students experience, these challenges can negatively affect their academic performance and overall social-emotional health.
