Mr. Scheuren's physics students at UMHS celebrated Black History Month by researching & discussing the inspiring story of Edward Bouchet.
Students learned Dr. Bouchet was the first African American to graduate from Yale College in 1874; continuing his education at Yale, he earned his Ph.D. in Physics in 1876, making him the first African American to attain a doctoral degree from an American university. After graduation, Dr. Bouchet dedicated 26 years to educating young minds as a chemistry & physics instructor at the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia.

Abby's resilience and compassion shine through her remarkable initiatives, including the ChrisSanthemum Project benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and her work with the Peyton Heart Project for suicide and mental health awareness.

Abigale started planning the ChrisSanthemum project at 12 years old, hosted the first event at 13 years old, and raised almost $50,000 since its inception. Her leadership extends to various other roles, including fundraising chairperson for the Peyton Heart Project and a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's leadership team member.
Abby's aspirations reflect her creativity and ambition - she plans to attend the Douglas Education Center and participate in the Tom Savini's Special Makeup Effects Program after graduation. Congratulations, Abby, on this well-deserved honor! 🌟👏
