Jenai Howard is an enthusiastic educator at Charles R. Drew Charter School, Junior Academy. Driven by creativity, innovation, and a dedication to continuous self-improvement, she thrives on reimagining ideas and discovering new ways to enhance her students’ learning experiences. Her greatest joy in the classroom comes from witnessing students’ “aha” moments when they grasp a concept and seeing her thoughtfully planned lessons come to life, deeply engaging her students.

She is committed to fostering a space where every student feels seen, heard, and valued for who they are. By bringing energy, engagement, creativity, and relatability into her teaching, Jenai inspires her students not only to learn but to embrace and love the process of learning.
