Imani Christian Academy

Here are some highlights from our Commencement Ceremony held yesterday at the school. We say SOME highlights, because the entire afternoon was a truly unforgettable and joyous occasion.

Thank you to Clarence Jackson, Vice President of Community Development at Dollar Bank, for serving as our keynote speaker.

Thank you to class valedictorian Anthony Portis and class salutatorian Deston Hubbard, whose insightful speeches made every person in the audience proud to call these two Imani's own.

To everyone who helped make this a memorable event. THANK YOU!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! What a blessing to celebrate these young people and the bright futures ahead of them.

How proud are we of 2026 Valedictorian Anthony Portis?

This year Imani Christian Academy was proud to partner with Dollar Bank to bring financial literacy education to our 11th and 12th grade students.

Clarence Jackson, Vice President of Community Development, led an eight-week program, meeting Mondays and Fridays for 45 minutes each session, covering savings, budgeting, credit, debt management, home purchasing, and more.

This is exactly the kind of community investment that prepares young people not just for college, but for life. Thank you, Dollar Bank, for your dedication to our community and for this impactful program for our students.

Special thanks to Mayor Calabrese of Penn Hills for taking the time to speak with our middle school students about the political process and the importance of integrity and hard work. Her message helped our students see how leadership, service, and character shape strong communities. We are grateful for her commitment to educating and inspiring the next generation.

More from our 2026 Spring Fashion show as Fifth-Grade teacher Mrs. Santiago talks about exposing our students to different types of arts and the confidence that it inspires.
