BLACK HISTORY MONTH
When a week-long observance was expanded to a month in 1976, President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Students, faculty, and staff at St. Philip's are doing just that with a month full of activities and events celebrating Black History Month.

REAL MEN PRAY CHAPEL
Dads, granddads, uncles, teachers, and other wonderful male role models locked arms around our young male students as Pastor Chris L. Simmons from Cornerstone Baptist Church led them in prayer at this year's Real Men Pray Chapel.
