TIME: Starts 9:30am

WHERE: Wylie Athletic Complex - gymnasium .


5500 Clement Drive
Maple Heights, OH

WHAT IS PATHFINDERS?
The Pathfinders’ assembly is the culmination of  Maple Heights Schools Black History Month activities and recognizes people who have been trailblazers to success in five different areas: education, citizenship/government, the arts & science, humanitarianism and business. Individuals are recognized for finding or creating a path of success that Maple Heights' students can follow – thus the name Pathfinders.


JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THE 9TH ANNUAL MAPLE HEIGHTS PATHFINDERS' ASSEMBLY WAS EXCELLENT.

A former teacher, guidance counselor and Alternative Schools
Coordinator, Mr. Ross served as a desegregation expert and helped to
desegregate the Maple Heights Schools. He was one of the chief
negotiators for the historic Affi rmative Action agreements that
made it possible for African-American teachers and administrators
to be hired in the schools and for African-American police and
fi remen to be hired in the City of Maple Heights. Ross received his
master’s degree from John Carroll University. Additionally, he was a world class athlete whose
relay team was ranked second in the world in 1966 when he was featured on ABC’s Wide World of
Sports. Ross currently lectures and facilitates workshops on African-American dance, and is the best selling author of "Soul Dancing! The Essential African American Cultural Dance Book".
