Passaic High School’s annual Unity Luncheon continues to be a cherished tradition, bringing together students, staff, and alumni in a celebration of diversity, culture, and community. Established by former principal Carl Creech, this event serves as both a cultural gathering and a fundraiser for a scholarship awarded to a graduating senior, typically a member of the African American Culture Club.
A Gathering of Support and Tradition
The Unity Luncheon unites a diverse group of attendees, including current and retired Passaic School District employees—teachers, administrators, security personnel, counselors, custodians, and secretaries—all coming together to support the next generation of students. The event showcases poetry readings, musical performances, motivational speeches, and heartfelt dedications, highlighting the rich heritage and contributions of the African American community.
Supporting Local Businesses and Culture
A key feature of the luncheon is the array of delicious foods representing different cultural backgrounds. This not only enriches the experience for attendees but also strengthens community ties and economic support for businesses.
Investing in Student Success
More than just a celebration, the Unity Luncheon funds a scholarship that helps a deserving Passaic High School senior continue their academic journey. By attending and supporting the event, participants contribute directly to a brighter future for students who exemplify leadership, dedication, and academic excellence.
