From SCH “lifer” to world ninja champion to American Ninja Warrior competitor, recent grad Jackson Erdos ’25 has already made his mark on the global stage. At the heart of his journey is a belief he carries with him, both on and off the course:

“Everyone gets so nervous about graduating, college, and planning the future. But it’s not always black and white. My advice is to follow the path that makes you happy… Being an amazing athlete is one thing, but being an amazing person is what I want to be known for.”

Now, Jackson is training and competing around the world while coaching more than 40 young athletes at his home gym. We can’t wait to see where his next chapter takes him!

Spotlight on Jackson Erdos ’25: From SCH Lifer to American Ninja Warrior This summer, SCH Academy alumnus and “lifer” Jackson Erdos ’25 competed on the national stage as a competitor on NBC’s American Ninja Warrior (ANW).

We're incredibly proud of Cole Brown '14, our 2025 CHA Young Alumnus of the Year! He directed a new documentary for Ralph Lauren, "A Portrait of the American Dream: Oak Bluffs," which celebrates the history of the Black community in Martha's Vineyard.

“It’s a story of Black aspiration, Black success in a time and place where that was far from guaranteed in most parts of the country,” Brown said in a recent Good Morning America interview about the project. “We wanted to reach out to the community and say, ‘Hey, what stories have really created this place that has become so special for Black history?’”
