Deontei Johnson of Sprinfield, Mo., knew Northark would be home for him. “Northark just feels like home,” he said. “Everyone is always so nice and has always been welcoming, especially the instructors who always try to help you do your best in your classes.”

Pioneer Basketball

Deontei, who is working toward a degree in business, is a member of the men’s Pioneer basketball team, but was sidelined this past year with an injury. "Being a Pioneer means a lot to me," he said. "I've always wanted to play college basketball, and being here, playing basketball makes me feel valued."

Student Athlete

Deontei has a bright future ahead of him. He plans to return for his final year of Pioneer basketball before transferring to a four-year university or culinary school. He would like to have his own business or have a career involving sports.
