Conflict Resolution Meets Culinary Arts Session

Things got "heated" during Daniel Jenkins Academy’s (DJA) last conflict resolution seminar. The program's Chief Executive Director and seminar facilitator, Sylvia Evans, introduced a unique, yet effective method of creating connections among students in ways that inspired communication, collaboration, and the creation of "flavorful outcomes.”

HBCU Fair hosted by Charleston County School District

The month of November was an active, enlightening, and motivating one for students at Daniel Jenkins Academy (DJA). On November 8, 2024, students attended “Destination HBCU,” an event hosted by Charleston County School District that spotlighted historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) as well as provided students and other attendees the opportunity to speak with college and career representatives. Students also participated in trivia for prizes and were entertained by student performances.
