Jill Scott, the Grammy-award-winning singer, returned to her alma mater, Philadelphia High School for Girls, to unveil a new mural dedicated to her. The mural, designed by artist Patrick Dougher and facilitated by Mural Arts Philadelphia, features Scott coronating young girls with replicas of her own crown. The event was part of the school's 175th anniversary celebrations. Scott encouraged students to embrace their uniqueness, stating, 'I need you to go ahead and be weird.' The celebration included a performance where Scott sang the school's Alma Mater alongside fellow alumna and OACCE Executive Director Val Gay.
