While at CDS, N'Jhari Jackson, Class of 2019, was awarded The Silver Congressional Award. A high honor, but for N'Jhari, that wasn't the end. He wanted gold. And when N'Jhari sets his mind on a goal, he doesn't stop until he accomplishes it. On January 23, 2020, N'Jhari was awarded the Gold Congressional Award for his work in public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploring.
Since graduating from CDS in 2019, N'Jhari has been busy at the University of Florida. He is continuing his volunteer work to help educate about sudden cardiac arrest in student-athletes by participating in the 15th Annual Heart-to-Heart Parent Heart Watch Conference. He also just published his 4th book "Just a Teen in Today's America," plays Florida Club Football, and volunteers as a UF Promise Ambassador.
As he heads to Paris in a couple of weeks to participate in the study abroad program, we at CDS eagerly await the next update from N'Jhari.
