On the morning of Friday September 27, 2013, Akins hosted the annual “History Makers” event where Dr. William Charles Akins attended and spoke. Akins reflected his past and the inspirations that led to all of his success which was followed by a brief interview by the audience. The audience which consisted of students, teachers, JROTC members, and librarians were able to ask questions regarding Akins’ life struggles, inspirations, and childhood and understand the reason why their school is named after Dr. William Charles Akins.

“We are Akins Eagles because eagles soar and we want you all to soar academically.” Akins said.
