TLHS Events
TLHS Particpates in & Sponsors Palm Beach Youth Cultural Film Festival 
Click here to download the event flyer.
Toussaint L’Ouverture High School for Arts & Social Justice is proud to Sponsor the Palm Beach Youth Cultural Film Festival which will held on Monday, March 19, 2012, at 7 pm, at the Boynton Cinema. The Festival, which was created by Toussaint L’Ouverture High School’s very own TV Production Teacher Gary Davis, is said to be a hit.
The festival will feature works from TLHS’s alumni as well as its current students. It will highlight youth talent as well as allow for the opprrtunity to show work produced that may not necessarily be suitable for viewing in a school setting. For example: One film will explore gun violence and the affect it has on parents of teens who have committed a crime with a gun.
TLHS offers a TV Production course where students learn to produce, edit, write, and be creative in a structured setting. The films shown at this event by TLHS students were created using the skills learned while attending their TV Production course. TLHS is a small charter school located in Delray Beach. Many of its students are Haitian students who have not been accepted (or have not succeeded in) the traditional public schools. At TLHS, students are treated and respected as individuals. TLHS’s mission is to provide motivated students of
diverse ability levels a unique secondary school experience using arts as a vehicle for social
justice and individual change. TLHS’s vision is to help youth acquire the skills they need to be successful in college and/or work and to have a voice in co-creating a world they can believe in.

Palm Beach News
Haitians are largest immigrant group in Palm Beach County

Flocking to Palm Beach County over the past decade, immigrants from Haiti now represent the largest concentration of foreign-born people living here by far, according to data recently released by the Census Bureau.
And "it's going to continue," said Wismick St. Jean, a Haitian activist and business owner. "There's no doubt about that."
The number of Haitians, pegged at nearly 27,800 in 2000, had grown by a third to about 38,500 by the second half of the decade, according to surveys collected from 2005 to 2009 as part of the American Communities Survey.
That's far more than the next-largest group, Cubans, at 23,476 and Mexicans at 21,500. Haitians also were the top immigrant group in 2000, but by a smaller margin.

This is our mission at TLHS too--to provide an educational atmosphere and the knowledge and preparation to think critically that our students need to overcome their obstacles and to succeed, not only financially but emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, socially.
The conference will be held at the University of Cincinnati on January 13-14, 2012.
