Milwaukee Public Schools are celebrating "Middle/High School Signing Day" on May 26 through June 6, 2026. And, as part of this milestone, eighth graders at Sherman Multicultural Arts School, received words of encouragement from Jim Gaillard, Vice President/Master Electrician at Ezekiel HOPE. Jim, a former MPS student before attending Oshkosh High School in Oshkosh, WI, shared his journey and encouraged the students to chase their dreams.
