High School Summer Spotlight: Jayden Jean-Baptiste

Jayden returned for his second year and quickly stood out for his enthusiasm and leadership. One of his favorite surprises this year was discovering the Skills Lab stocked with gaming equipment—and he even took part in the after-hours Super Smash Bros. tournament. Jayden designed the flyer for the event and enjoyed the increased number of field trips compared to last year. His favorite outing? Visiting the USF Tampa E-Sports facility—perfect for a gamer like him.

In addition to exploring entrepreneurship, cooking, and cyber security workshops, Jayden impressed staff with his reliability and positive attitude. “He’s always prepared and on time, completes assignments without delay, and is eager to learn,” said Rhonda. “Jayden is respectful, helpful, and participates in everything—always taking full advantage of the opportunities given.”
