✨ A Powerful Finish to Our 2026 Scholars Academy Year! ✨
The Hampton Roads Committee of 200+ Men is proud to celebrate the success of our final Scholars Academy Developmental Session for the 2026 school year — a day filled with excellence, enrichment, and recognition.
Our Scholars began the morning with a catered breakfast and received their professional headshot photos, preparing them for future academic and professional opportunities.
We were honored to celebrate their achievements:
🎓 Graduating seniors received their official 200+ Men Resolution Letter, recognizing their leadership and commitment.
🏅 Scholars who completed their required community involvement were presented with their Community Involvement Award, honoring their service to the Hampton Roads community.
Our Scholar’s Academy Chairman, Dr. Tony Sandifer, delivered a powerful and well‑informed presentation on today’s political climate and its impact on our civil rights — a timely and essential conversation for our young leaders.
We were also privileged to welcome Virginia State Delegate and 200+ Men member, Virgil Thornton, Sr., who broke down the process of how a bill is written and becomes law, giving our Scholars a firsthand look at civic engagement and legislative impact.
Our young men were fed naturally and mentally, leaving the session full, inspired, and ready for the journey ahead.
What an awesome end to a fulfilling school year. We are proud of our Scholars and grateful to every mentor, parent, partner, and member who continues to invest in their growth and success.
200+ Men Strong. 200+ Men Committed. 200+ Men Leading.
