Students at Daniel Jenkins Academy now have the opportunity to earn their hair braiding license from South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation thanks to a very special new program at their school!

DJA Principal Dana Hancock-Rodgers and CTE Teacher Ms. Shekema Hamm welcomed students, educators, and community members to the recent ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony.

Business partners for this new program include Ms. Devona Kinlock and Ms. Tanesha Heyward, local professionals in the salon industry.

Students and teachers came together to prepare the new learning lab for the program, and Ms. Hamm and Ms. Hancock-Rodgers expressed their sincere thanks to everyone that made it possible for the DJA students!

Here are some pictures from the grand opening event:
