Championing a Culture of Excellence & Service
Each grading period, the CEA honors its Dillard High School Honor Roll scholars. Through partnerships with the state and local partners such as Florida Blue and Panther 100, the CEA provides a sit-down breakfast, ceremony, Honor roll medals and giveaways for top performing students in 9th – 12th grade. While students were excited to celebrate academic success, they’re also charged to encourage their fellow peers to strive for excellence in the upcoming quarters.
The CEA’s partnership with the 2023 MOUNTMentum Back to School Drive was an exemplary collaboration among MOUNTMentum churches and community partners! This year’s drive served over 2,000 children and their families in our community. Students received filled backpacks, immunizations, haircuts, lunch, and plenty of giveaways from a multitude of local vendors. CEA youth volunteers were provided another opportunity to garner community service hours packing bags, sorting supplies, and serving families during the event.
The CEA, collaborating with New Mount Olive Baptist Church (NMOBC) and Mount Olive Development Corporation (MODCO), offered an incredible chance to make a positive impact on our community this Holiday Season! Our neighbors at Old Dillard Museum offered their facility to allow community members to not only benefit from the drive but also explore the rich history of Dillard High School and the Black Excellence of Broward County. The annual Christmas for the Community toy drive resulted in over 800 toys distributed to families within our community.
