At the Academy, we begin our day with a song and all students take Brother Hammon's choir class. This welcome session is a musical class with Brother Hammon. A music conductor for both school and community choirs for five decades, he a deep connection to music, and his ability to inspire others to explore ideas, think critically, and open their hearts to the messages within songs. Through his mentorship, participants in his choir class are promised an enlightening and enriching experience, filled with insightful analysis, practice, and emotional interpretation. Brother Hammon's influence extends beyond musical knowledge, as he encourages individuals to elevate their skills and appreciate the profound impact of music on the soul.
The keynote speech highlights the ways young people contribute to their community through personal growth and sharing their knowledge and light with others. Panel members have succeeded in various fields such as entrepreneurship, community service, and motivational speaking, inspiring others to embrace positivity and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Be the light is an active work calling on the energy and enthusiasm offered by youth.
