BLYTHEWOOD – Eleven young men from Westwood High School and Fairfield Central High School have taken a step toward leadership and community impact by joining the Columbia Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi’s Kappa League. The induction ceremony, held on Sunday, August 17, marked the beginning of a journey focused on personal growth, mentorship, and service.
The new and returning inductees include Cailen Felder, Cameron ‘CJ’ Bennett, Kameron Haynie, Kaleb Haynie, Devonte Armstrong, Dominique Armstrong, Chris Gibbs, Uriah Lofton, Jayden Boyd, and Kenny Robinson—all members of the Westwood High School football team. They were joined by William ‘Owen’ Wilson, representing Fairfield Central High School.
The Columbia Alumni Chapter’s Kappa League is a youth leadership program designed to cultivate the talents and character of young men through educational, occupational, and social guidance. Its mission is to develop foundational skills in preparation for leadership.
“These young men are not only excelling on the field, but they’re also setting an example off the field,” said Darion Breland, co-chairman of the Columbia Alumni Chapter. “Their commitment to growth and service is exactly what our community needs.”
As the 2025–2026 school year begins, Breland said these students are already proving to be role models among their peers.
“Their participation in Kappa League signals a dedication to becoming leaders who will shape the future of their schools, neighborhoods, and beyond,” said Breland. “We are proud to stand behind them as they rise to meet the challenge of leadership.”
