Under the leadership of new Coordinator of Student Activities Ms. Le’Shea Jones, student engagement at USCH’s HUM IV has reached new heights. By revitalizing student government and fostering a culture of school spirit and inclusivity, she has helped student leaders turn their ideas into action, leading to two standout programs: Talk That Thursday and Freestyle Friday.

Throughout December, these student-led events created exciting spaces for discussion, creativity, and self-expression. Talk That Thursday encouraged open conversations on issues affecting youth, from local transit changes to gun violence and the new federal administration. Meanwhile, Freestyle Friday transformed the school’s music and dance studio into a high-energy showcase for karaoke, spoken word, and instrumental performances—including a special guitar set from beloved teacher Mr. Steven Chovnick. 

These initiatives energized the student body, boosting participation and strengthening unity and joy at HUM IV. With student leaders at the helm, the future of student engagement looks brighter than ever!
