Three years ago Dr. Prophet
brought Renee Wilkerson-Ander­
son to Portland to coordinate and
administer the MESA program.
MESA (Mathematics, Engineer­
ing, Science Achievement) is an
after-school activity designed to
attract minority students and to
develop an interest in academic
achievement in mathematics and
science. The activities are sup
ported by Portland State Uni­
versity and businesses in the
metropolitan area.
At the annual awards banquet,
on June 2, at the Smith Center,
PSU, Harriet Tubman Middle
School was honored as having
the most outstanding MESA pro­
gram. It’s three Harriet Tubman
teacher coordinators Ken Krause
(science), Gary Starr (mathema­
tics), and Melanie Ramsey (scie-
1
Paul E. Coakley
nee) have successfully involved
over 60 students in the after­
school activities, tutorial pro­
gram, and weekend field trips.
The success of the program
comes from the administrative
support given by Paul E. Coakley,
principal of Harriet Tubman. On
April 2, 1988 at the Scottish Rite
Temple, the Portland Masons
honored him as most outstanding
Principal of the Year. His philos­
ophy of, “ if it’s good for kids we’ll
do everything we can to support
it” , rings true not only for MESA
but for the many other after­
s c h o o l p ro g ra m s he has
supported.
Teachers along with his admin­
istrative staff could be found
(Root Beer or Cromo)
R egular or Sugar Fraa
working with as many as 180 stu­
dents in after-school activities.
The many hours of volunteer time
by these dedicated staff mem­
bers have helped to provide stu­
dents with a sense of belonging
in a troublesome time for many of
our youth.
