Brooklyn’s Maxwell High School has long been a hub for innovation, creativity, and community engagement. Known for its strong vocational programs and a commitment to student development, the school fosters excellence in both academics and technical skills. At the helm of this transformative institution is Principal John Rullan, whose leadership has nurtured a culture of empowerment and success for Maxwell students.
One of the school’s most anticipated events is the Annual Maxwell High School Hair Show, held every December. The 2024 show was a spectacular display of artistry, innovation, and skill. It drew students, parents, and the wider community together in celebration
The Hair Show: Creativity and Craft in Action
The Maxwell High School Hair Show is more than a showcase. It’s a platform for students to express their creativity and explore the technical skills they’ve honed through the school’s cosmetology program. It is run by Mrs. Chukukelu, the senior cosmetology teacher, alongside Dr. Georges and Mrs. Fernandez. December 2024’s event featured breathtaking styles that ranged from classic Parisian chic to avant-garde fashion creations inspired by A Night in Paris.
Check out some highlights from the show:
