More than ever, one of the keys to success is education. At Reservoir High School, the Alpha Achievers Fraternity, an education program of the Howard County Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, offers an opportunity for black male students in grades 9 through 12 for another avenue to success.
The chapter just elected new officers for the 2015-16 school year. They are Keyshawn Cassie, president; Zachary Taylor, vice president; Tyler Franklin, secretary; Mikazae Noel, treasurer; Joshua Young, sergeant-at-arms; and Aiden Henry, public relations chair.

One of the fastest growing academic areas in high schools is the robotics club. And, you don't need deep pockets to excel in this program.
