ACADEMICS: Scholars Academy Seniors Testify Before Children’s Committee
Congratulations to Scholars Academy Magnet for Business and Law seniors Ahmari Hunt, Emma Iskhakov, Nacala McDaniels, and Daija Randall, who testified before the South Carolina Joint Legislative and Citizens Committee on Children on October 12, 2022 on topics they chose including the need for additional funding for students’ mental health, access to women’s healthcare and state employee benefits. The committee compiles a list of recommendations benefiting children for the South Carolina legislature to take up during their session each January. The students did a fantastic job and impressed both the committee and the audience.
