Fresh off their graduation from the University of Pittsburgh this May, Michon Gallaway ’21 is turning their focus to the classroom once again — this time as a teacher. The East Liberty native is no stranger to education, with experience tutoring at Pitt and periodically teaching at both the Fund for Advancement of Minorities through Education (FAME) and The Neighborhood Academy (TNA).
When two mission-driven organizations come together with a shared vision for educational equity, the result can be transformative.
A standout both in the classroom and on the basketball court, TNA senior Shamar is now set to attend La Roche University on a full scholarship in the fall. Shamar, a proud resident of Pittsburgh’s Hill District, helped lead TNA’s basketball team to both the 2025 WPIAL Class 1A Boys' Championship and the 2025 PIAA Class 1A State Championship. His game-saving three-pointer in the state finals became an instant legend.
