Skooled

Skooled is a weekly afterschool mentoring program at Central High School led by local college students. Skooled was started to address those issues.

The program was started bySeton Hall University graduate Monica Hall. She started the program as a result of a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Association panel discussion/forum about the disparities in education. One of the panelists at that event was, Honorable Mayor Ras Baraka, who was the principal of Central High School at the time. At the end of the program, after discussing the issue

s, he invited the college students in the audience to come to his school and work with his students. Founder Monica Hall was a part of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Association (MLKSA) and the advisor Rev. Dr. Forest Pritchett told Principal Baraka that MLKSA would supply the people and Monica was to make it happen. Since then, volunteers from the audience and students who have been interested have met weekly on Fridays to mentor and tutor students from Central High School with the sole purpose of helping them apply and get to college.
