Jobs for America's Graduates
JAG Progress at EHS
The EHS Jobs for America's Graduates program began in the fall of 2014 to help keep students on track to graduate, be prepared for post-secondary education or get full-time employment. Currently 53 students are enrolled. The EHS program and JAG specialist Ali Macias have received state and national awards based on the achievements of students in the program and JAG graduates. Ali Macias and specialist Rigo Aguirre accompanied several JAG students, who told the board of education about the benefits they have received. The curriculum combines community service, civic awareness, resume development, field trips to business and industry, guest speakers as well as academic support.
Athletic Director Curtis Simons and board member Mike Crouch reviewed topics that will be discussed at upcoming regional meetings of the Kansas State High School Activities Association. Mr. Crouch is a member of KSHSAA executive board.
