This year in honor of Black History Month, Poway High is excited to celebrate Black History through the arts.  On Monday, February 26, there will be live “Jazz on the Quad” featuring the PHS Jazz Band performing music by black artists at lunch. Student art and photography highlighting Black and Afro-Latinos will also be displayed in the main quad and the Library will offer interactive book displays for students.
