Program Offerings
African American Male Summit
The African American Male Summit (AAMS) is an annual program to commemorate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The program is open to males in grades 6-12 along with their parents and community partners. Participants engage in breakout sessions focused on academic excellence, team building and leadership development. The program provides an opportunity for parents to learn about division initiatives and community resources. Participants are exposed to historically black universities and other post-secondary opportunities through an extensive exhibition. The AAMS was highlighted in the Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) 24th annual VSBA Showcases for Success directory, highlighting successful K-12 programs in Virginia's public schools. Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) was one of 44 school divisions from across the Commonwealth that had been featured.
