Meet Jacob Bentley, Program Coordinator of BOCS



Mr. Jacob Bentley was born to Jacob and Phyllis Bentley in Riverside California. When
he was 3, his father got a job coaching for the Morehouse College Maroon Tigers, and his family
moved to the great city of Atlanta, where he was raised. After graduating from the illustrious
Benjamin E. Banneker High School in College Park, Georgia he chose to forsake the many
schools that wanted him (Harvard, GA Tech, Princeton, Emory), and take his talents to
Morehouse College. Upon reviving his Bachelor of Science degrees in Math and Engineering,
Mr. Bentley went to the FAMU/FSU school of Engineering to get his Master’s in Industrial
Wanting to do more for his community, Mr. Bentley gave up Engineering and chose to
become an educator. For the last 8+ years, he has worked at Morehouse College, first with the
Federal TRIO programs, and for the last 6, with the Bonner Office of Community Service.
