Princeton Parents for Black Children Recognizes PPS Students at 5th Annual Recognition Ceremony

Princeton Parents for Black Children (PPBC) is proud to announce the 5th Anniversary Annual Recognition Ceremony on Friday June, 6, 2025 to honor all the 5th, 8th, and 12th grade students in the Princeton Public Schools and all the 4th and 8th grade students in the Charter School. The ceremony will take place at the Princeton YWCA at 6:30pm

Since its inception in 2020, PPBC has honored more than 100 students in the Princeton Public School District, recognizing their resilience and accomplishments throughout their school life. 

This year, PPBC, through its partnerships,  awarded eight graduating seniors over $9,000 in scholarships presented at the Princeton Senior Awards night. The awards  recognized the students' leadership and significant impact on the PHS community and honored their deep commitment to promoting equity and cultural awareness for a more inclusive environment for all students.

PPBC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) whose mission is to advocate for equity and support all Black children in the PPS school district.  The organization offers programs and other resources that build community for the children.  One such resource is the Shirley Satterfield Scholarship Fund created to help students overcome financial and other barriers to full utilization of district resources.
