Kelcey Watson and Montrell Besley were the two facilitators for the after-school program.
Kelcey teaches middle school at McCallie - he’s also a Learning Center specialist who coaches football, basketball and track.
Montrell is director of community engagement at Chattanooga Prep - as well as head track coach there.
I spoke with them - and with two students who participated in the “Own Your History” after-school program: Cooper Gentle, a 7th grader at McCallie and Akeem Birt, an 8th grader at Chattanooga Prep.
