Scene 3 was a solo titled, “To be an Entrepreneur.” Youth actors during this scene portrayed and modeled to settings that would be seen in entrepreneur businesses as a nail & hair salon, a dress shop and a restaurant.

The performing arts club presented a number of step and dance routines by the boys and girls groups.

The top awards were presented to Jacquis Ricks, the Student Worker of the Year Award; Jahmeir Scott, Site Director’s award; Anaya Murphy, Most Cooperative; and Kamarre Hicks, Citizenship Award.
