Congratulations To Jahlisa and Jahnia Lee
Jahlisa and Jahnia Lee began their journey into Hairstyling and Aesthetics a year and a half ago by putting their all into learning new skills during Cosmetology class. In addition, they volunteered everyday at lunch in Cosmetology for a full year. They went on to win the AHEN Black Student Excellence Award in Arts/craftsmanship category for all their hard work and skill in Hairstyling and Aesthetics. Last semester, Jahlisa and Jahnia Lee became the first students from Heydon Park S.S to be accepted into the Studio 500 Accelerated OYAP Hairstyling apprenticeship program. As they begin this program this semester, we are so proud of all their hard work, dedication to the craft, and the perseverance to overcome any challenges they faced to achieve their goals.
