Submitted by mike.sorensen on

9th Graders in Mrs. Gardner and Ms. Reese's World Civ classes were treated with an awesome guest speaker on Wednesday.  Mustapha El Akkari, Muslim, businessman, and former basketball star spoke with students about what it means to be a Muslim and informed students on the religion of Islam. Akkari came to the U.S alone as a 16 year old to play basketball. He played high school basketball in Houston and college basketball at BYU-Hawaii. Akkari became the first non-LDS Student Body President of BYU-Hawaii as a Senior at the University.
