2026 Black History Month Fashion Show & Cultural Experience

Now Taking Place Saturday, May 23, 2026

📍 Generations Church | Vancouver, WA

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the 2026 Black History Month Fashion Show has been moved to Saturday, May 23, 2026.

While this year has been incredibly challenging for students, teachers, and staff across Clark County, we are choosing to end this school year in POWER.

May 23rd will now serve as both:

✨ Our Student Graduation Celebration

✨ Our Cultural Experience

✨ Our Black History Month Fashion Show

Let’s show up for these students.

🎓 FREE ADMISSION FOR CLARK COUNTY STUDENTS

We are opening the doors in a big way.

Any student who lives in Clark County, Washington may attend FREE with:

✔ Valid Student ID

✔ Pre-registration required

✔ Verification at entry

Each verified student may bring their immediate family (up to 7 family members per student ID) free of charge.

That means:

1 student + up to 7 immediate family members = FREE ENTRY

But pre-registration is REQUIRED.

Seats are limited. Once seating fills, registration will close.

👗 WE ARE STILL SEEKING MODELS

Do you know a student who wants to walk the runway?

We are actively registering models for the May 23rd Fashion Show.

This is:

✔ A confidence-building experience

✔ A professional runway opportunity
