On January 26, 2023, Jacie Harris, a Senior at Central High School, was awarded a scholarship from the McDonald's Owner/Operators of Michigan for the 2023 Black History Makers of Today Program. She will receive 1,000 dollars toward her tuition and the story will be featured on local TV as part of a celebration of Black History Makers- youth making a positive impact in their community during February.
