TOPEKA – Hiawatha High School will add a Jobs for America’s Graduates-Kansas (JAG-K) program next fall. The evidence-based program partners with public schools to ensure that students graduate with the necessary skills to succeed.
The goal of JAG-K is to help students overcome identified barriers, graduate from high school and prepare for college or career pathways that will help them reach their full potential as leaders for their families, employers and communities. It is part of a national organization that is entering its 40th year.
“We are thrilled to welcome Hiawatha to our family of JAG-K schools,” said Senior Vice-President of Programming Bev Mortimer. “The school is committed to making sure every student has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, and JAG-K will offer that extra level of support for students who need it.”
“We are excited to bring this opportunity to Hiawatha High School.” Lori Fordyce, Hiawatha High School Principal stated. “We look forward to partnering with JAG to offer our kids another tool in preparation for life after high school.”
