On January 15, 2007, Hands On Memphis’ Hands On Schools MLK Day project took place at the Memphis Academy of Health and Sciences (MAHS). MAHS was established as a charter school by the Memphis Chapter of the 100 Black Men.  Since establishment, the school has rapidly worked to improve the overall academic performance of students by partnering with Volunteer Memphis and 100 Black Men to provide a tutoring program.  Recently, the school acquired a new facility which has served to further establish the spirit and identity of MAHS students and staff.
