Abstract
The enrollment of nonwhite students in public schools is increasing nationwide. The National Center for Education Statistics (2021) predicts that by the fall of 2029, the percentage of students who are white will drop to 44 percent. As a result of an increase in minoritized students, educators need to attend to the needs of their students’ changing demographics. This transformative mixed-methods study was conducted to determine if a support group for African American students could improve their educational experience in a predominantly white school middle school. African American students did not have a formal program or system for social-emotional development in this affluent suburban middle school. They need a support system that can provide a sense of belonging and understanding to ensure the opportunity to be successful in a predominantly white middle school. The results of this study reported the African American support group provided social-emotional education and support (empowerment) for the participants. They found ways to express their feelings regarding issues within the African American community by creating content for WCMS’s advisory curriculum (action).
