PEPPER PIKE, Ohio — From boys to young men; there is a unique transformation ongoing at Orange High School.
“It’s a better connection because they look like you,” said senior and club president CJ Gissentaner. Collins, a veteran Orange educator and former coach, says the Male Minority Leadership Group is more than just a club for him; it is his purpose. He recalls back in 2005 a group of young men confided in him with extreme vulnerability for the first time. The coach remembers them saying, “We feel like we don’t have a space for our voice to be heard.”
Thomas says the community-first mindset instilled in him through Collins has grown to be his passion, which is also shared by his wife. Thomas, who is currently a Foundation Program Officer for the Detroit Lions, says serving is a major part of his role with the NFL team.
