Students from Miami Killian Senior High School in Miami-Dade and Plantation High School in Broward participated in the Eighth Annual Miami HEAT Black History Month Challenge presented by PepsiCo, held in 601 at the AmericanAirlines Arena.
The Miami HEAT Black History Month Challenge is a game show-style competition where a team from each of the schools tests their knowledge of African-American history. The winning school, Miami Killian Senior High School, walked away with a $4,000 grant and a HEAT prize pack. The runner up, Plantation High School, received a $500 grant. After the competition, both schools were treated to a pizza party donated by Papa John’s Pizza, official pizza partner of the Miami HEAT.
