For 50 years, Berkeley High School (BHS) has maintained the only official High School African American Studies Department (AASD) in the nation. The mission of the African American Studies Department is to:

  1. Empower students with a positive sense of identity, purpose, and direction.

  2. Educate students and the greater community with an awareness and appreciation for the accomplishments, contributions, history, and culture of people of African Descent.

  3. Encourage students to strive for excellence and embrace the attributes of the African American S.P.I.R.I.T.-Strength, Perseverance, Imagination, Responsibility, Integrity, Talent.

 

Through history, literature, language, dance, drama, and spoken word, the humanities-based courses of the AASD provide a unique learning environment focused on the journey of Africa's rich history , the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and the African experience as an integral part of the development of the United States of America.
