Where did Angela Bassett go to high school?
Bassett studied at Boca Ciega High School located at Gulf Port, Florida where she was part of the school’s cheerleading team.
She also took great pride in being on the debate team at her high school. When Bassett became the first African-American inducted into Boca Ciega’s National Honor Society, she made history.
She then participated in Upward Bound, a high school programme that provides academic and cultural enrichment for youngsters from low-income families.
Bassett and her friends who were enrolled in the programme at the time did not view themselves as needy, despite the fact that the aforementioned programme was designed to assist needy students in getting on their feet.
