On Friday, February 13, 2015 an all-male assembly will be held in the Anderson Auditorium of Arsenal Technical High School at 1:00 p.m. This program is specifically for all male students in grades 9 – 12 and male staff of Tech High School.
The focus of the program is self-image and student empowerment including topics such as how decisions affect self-image, social perception, and getting an education. After the main program, the students will have an opportunity to ask questions and get advice from a distinguished panel ofcommunity leaders, athletes and local businessmenincluding Chief Rick Hite (IMPD), Mike Epps(comedian and Tech High School graduate), Gary Brackett (restaurateur and former Indianapolis Colts player), Dwayne Allen and Jonathan Newsome (both Indianapolis Colts players). Amp Harris and Mike Epps, believe by allowing teens to see positive images of successful people who have come from similar backgrounds, they hope to inspire them to aspire to greater things.
Mr. Harris’ dedication and passion for youth empowerment and the Indianapolis community has led to the hosting of several other community events such as the Indiana Black Expo Teen Summit, Amp Harris & Reggie Wayne “Saving Our Youth” Celebrity Basketball Game and “Making the Right Play in Life” symposium for teen athletes. These events are focused on encouraging teens to grow in positive ways.
Mr. Harris is also an active contributor in the planning of the Indiana Black Expo, and he strives to insure all of his programs incorporate the youth while providing a positive and educational focus. He is honored to be a part of this assembly at Tech High School and is looking forward to doing more programs at other area schools by joining forces with the Indiana Pacers and the Indianapolis Colts.
Tech High School and Mr. Harris appreciates Mike Epps for, taking time out of his schedule to speak to the students at Arsenal Tech High School. Mr. Epps will be ending his nationwide tour; Friday, Feb. 13 at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. He is delighted when his schedule permits him to speak to the teens especially, the teens of Tech High School.
