JAG is coming!





The Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) program is coming to Cassopolis Ross Beatty Jr/Sr High School. Watch the videos to learn a little about what the students were told and click on the link above to learn more about the program as a whole. It is national program funded through Michigan Works and has been piloted in Michigan at Benton Harbor High School for the past year.
This program is going to be run during the regular school day for both elective and college credit with one group of Sophomores and one group of Juniors. It is all about teaching students the skills they need to successfully interview and then get a job. If you need more information or you want your student involved, please give Mrs. Angus or Mrs. Beebe a call at 445-0533 because the applications the student needs to fill out to get in the program is due by Wednesday, April 1st.





I can construct, read and interpret all types of charts and graphs.
