BTW Alumni Foundation History/Vision

The Booker T. Washington High School Alumni Foundation of Shreveport, Louisiana, Inc was created in May,1992. The vision was to establish a non-profit corporation for the purpose of supporting our beloved Booker T. Washington High School (BTW).

The directors of the foundation, as established, were Cleophus Banks, Gwendolyn Cason and Carl Henry Franklin. The foundation will forever owe a debt of gratitude to these true visionaries.


Our Current Frame of Reference:

We want to see the lion restored to its once prominent place in the community. There are thousands of former graduates dispersed across the country and probably the world for that matter. We are loyal to the institution that launched our lives and careers. The "Lion is Coming Back" and as alums, we will play a key leadership role in this recovery.

Our Current Vision:

Booker T. Washington High School will become a premier learning institution noted for its academic excellence. We will be recognized as such an institution by objective measures of performance established by national and/or state standards.

Strategy:

A number of key actions have been identified as being critical to the achievement of our vision. We invite all interested alums to join us in this work. Please see "meetings" and "membership" labels and be guided accordingly.
