Notre Dame Has First Black Valedictorian

A 21-year-old woman will make history May 16 at the University of Notre Dame

By AIXA VELEZ

A Gary, Indiana native will make history next month as the first black valedictorian from the University of Notre Dame.

Katie Washington, 21, is a biology major and minor in Catholic social teaching with a 4.0 GPA.

“I am humbled,” said Washington to the Northwest Indiana Times. "I am in a mode of gratitude and thanksgiving right now.”

University officials said they couldn’t recall ever having a black valedictorian, and don’t keep record of their race.

Washington Wizard Gilbert Arenas has his plate full during his 30-day stint at a Maryland halfway house -- and let's just say he won't be hurting for a well-balanced meal.

TMZ obtained the dinner menus for the Montgomery County Pre-Release and Reentry Center in Maryland where Arenas' fine dining options include: scalloped chicken, chicken parmesan, spinach lasagna, steamed carrots, squash, and ... vanilla ice cream.

Arenas' sentence for his gun-slinging locker room standoff with a teammate began on Friday.

Have a great.....Hump Day!

Gilbert Arenas Dodges Bullet in Sentencing

Gilbert Arenas got a huge break today -- he won't be going to jail.

Arenas was just sentenced to 30 days in a halfway house for his gun-wielding locker room confrontation last year with one of his Washington Wizards teammates.

Arenas pled guilty on January 15 to one felony count of carrying a pistol without a license.

Prosecutors were gunning for three months in jail.
