Over the past year, De’Treviunte Cooper, a Cedar Over the past year, De’Treviunte Cooper, a Cedar Shoals alumnus, has worked with Hilsman Middle School students and local artist Broderick Flanigan to commemorate the rich history of education, integration and the Black community on the East side in the form of a mural in Hilsman’s cafeteria. On Feb. 7 Hilsman hosted a reception to celebrate the unveiling of the East Side Integration Mural. Guests from across the community were invited to speak about the history of Black education in Athens. Speakers included Annie Matthews, Athens High and Industrial School Class of 1964, who spoke about the Historic Chestnut Grove Schoolhouse which she’s worked to preserve and Cedar Shoals alumnus Randy Watkins, who shared his experiences integrating into an all-white school and being one of Cedar’s first students.

The Cedar Shoals Rifle Team held their fourth matc The Cedar Shoals Rifle Team held their fourth match of the season against Clarke Central’s newly established team on Feb 4. Coming out with a victory against their rival school, the Jaguars also achieved their best score in the last four years. “I was really happy because we had finally broke (a score of) 1100 and I was also really happy because I finally broke my personal best,” senior and team captain Dariana Reyna said. School cancellations due to inclement weather meant that some matches had to be rescheduled. With sectionals in late February and semi-finals in early March, the Rifle team has crunched six matches into five days. “Right now we don’t really have breaks between matches. We're kind of just doing match, sleep, next day, we come back and it's another match. It's been really stressful, not just on me, but on the team as well,” Reyna said. “But the victory at Clarke Central has us all looking forward.” Caption and photos by Aislynn Chau
