WHAT IS JAG?
Jobs for America’s Graduates-Louisiana (JAG-LA) Program is an affiliate of the National Jobs for America’s Graduates Program (JAG), the nation’s largest dropout prevention and recovery program serving youth 12-21 years of age. JAG-LA provides an educational setting that promotes academic and skills attainment, civic responsibility, leadership development and social awareness that is necessary to become a responsible citizen and productive worker.
JAG-LA delivers a unique set of services for students with major obstacles to help them earn a high school diploma. The program also supports students’ pursuing a Career Diploma through early experiences in foundational career skills and career awareness. Many elements of the JAG-LA Program that support Jump Start include curriculum, mentoring, and work-based learning.

NDHS JAG
JAG not only serves as a class worth credits towards graduation, It also serves as an on-campus organization that elects officers and provides oppourtuties for its members to compete against JAG students from all across the country.
During the School Year, we will host numerous Guest Speakers from many different avenues with hopes to educate and inspire our students.
Our plans are to conduct community service projects on campus as well in the surrounding areas. We will take multiple field trips to provide first hand experiences on 4 year college campuses and vocational schools.
We want to become an organization that not only serves the members of our classes, but to be a beacon of light and hope of the entire NORTH DESOTO complex.
