🚨An Oscar and a State Championship in One Day?!🚨 Yesterday was a historic day for Arts High School. Shortly after the Jaguars girls basketball team won their first state championship in program history, Arts High alum Michael B. Jordan (Class of 2005) took home the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Sinners! Before becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, MBJ was a standout athlete at Arts, averaging 21 points per game in basketball in his senior season and winning the Colonial Hills Conference long jump title with a jump of 19-9 for the track team. Between the girls basketball team making history and Jordan taking home the highest honor in the film industry, it was a day Arts High, and the City of Newark, won’t soon forget.
