Sankofa Ball
On February 24, 2018, National Collegiate Prep celebrated its 6th Annual Sankofa Ball. Sankofa is our time to introduce our seniors to the community as accomplished ladies and gentlemen. In addition to showcasing our seniors, this year we honored our partners, the 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, D.C. with our first ever James Vance Service Award. Also, we were joined this year by the Greater Washington Urban League who presented the school with a generous donation in support of our Sankofa programming. Please enjoy photos from all 6 of our balls and visit our Support Us page to support the school in providing the R.O.P.E.S. (Rights of Passage Empowering Students) courses for seniors.
