) - Goshen High School held a special ceremony today to celebrate Black brilliance across generations. In recognition of Black History Month, the school recognized three educators who made a profound difference in the lives of countless students.

Willie Matthews, Coach Major Lane, and Majorie Lane were each presented with the Standing Tall Tribute Award. It’s a recognition that carries special significance at the school. “I try to do my best with the students, give them all I had, try to keep everything straight. And I’m very proud I can see some of the results,” Matthews said. Major Lane made history as the first African American principal at the school. Willie Matthews became the first African American assistant principal, while Majorie Lane, Coach Lane’s daughter, was the first African American female assistant principal. Each educator received a plaque and a standing ovation, recognized as a trailblazer in their own way. “It shows that we are unified. It’s not about us, it’s about accepting our youth in the community,” Coach Major Lane said of the recognition. “I’m just happy to be here, to get this honor today. It says I did something right while I was here,” Matthews reflected on the award.“I appreciate the community coming out and supporting this cause. It’s good that we give flowers while people are living — to let them know they’re truly treasured and honored, and that they are loved,” Lane said. During Black History Month, Goshen High School took time to celebrate the legacy of these pioneering educators who have shaped the school’s future.Mayor charged with voyeurism after allegedly sniffing teen girl’s underwearMoms terrified after they say a man attempted to kidnap their daughters in Walmart greeting card aisle
