Many of the amazing alums of the Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts are returning to campus for the gala opening of the school’s new $55 million facility.

Grammy-winning alums Erykah Badu, Norah Jones and Shawn Martin all will perform at the June 7 gala at the arts magnet school. Fellow alum Elizabeth Mitchell (she plays Juliet Burke on TV’s Lost) will emcee the evening. The word is that trumpeter Roy Hargrove and jazz pianist Frank LoCrasto will also appear.
