Our graduating 8th grade Lions were celebrated this week by the families, staff, volunteers, community partners, and friends who have walked alongside them during their time here at AJC. We are especially proud to recognize this year’s award recipients, pictured below. Thank you to everyone who joined us in uplifting our students and surrounding them with the love and support that will carry them into the next chapter!
Markaya James, Assistant Director of Graduate Support, alongside rising 9th graders, Mercy, Dyasia, and Zyanae.

Wherever they’re headed, they know they are always welcome and loved here at AJC.
