On Friday, May 15, 2026, the South Shore Regional Centre for Education invites all schools to join in honoring Black Excellence Day, a dedicated time to highlight the brilliance and remarkable contributions of people of Black/African descent. This day serves as a vital opportunity for students of Black/African descent to see their identities reflected, represented, and joyfully celebrated within our community. It is also a call for all students and staff to acknowledge and honor the varied achievements—both past and present—of individuals and organizations from the Black/African descent community across Nova Scotia, Canada, and the global stage. Please join us in celebrating Black Excellence Day through meaningful action on May 15 and by carrying this spirit of recognition throughout the entire school year.
