Pioneer High School JAG students achieve 100 percent graduation rate in 2017
Pioneer High School is the only "Alternative High School" with the Jobs for America’s Graduates program. It was reported by Dr. Cantu, Executive Director of JAG, that the state’s graduation rate reached 90 percent in 2017 for students associated in JAG programs across Nevada.
Pioneer High School’s JAG graduation rate was 76.9 percent in 2016 and reached 100 percent in 2017. We were pleased to see this increase and recognize the work of JAG specialists embedded with the staff at PHS.
In the JAG Performance Outcome report, we were very encouraged to see that 100 percent of seniors enrolled in PHS JAG walked with their graduating class in 2017.
From this class, it was exciting to see that 100 percent of the students also had solid plans after earning their high school diplomas. PHS JAG students went into full time jobs, military branches, and entered into higher education programs. Another important aspect of JAG is the continued support of students after they graduate by JAG Specialists.
Pioneer High School is holding its annual JAG Induction Ceremony at the Governor’s Mansion on October 10th. Students will be officially inducted into the program and JAG student officers will share details of the goals, job shadowing, and activities planned for the year.
One of the field trips already planned for PHS JAG students is to tour the Tesla Plant. We are also happy to introduce Ms. Chyanne Corley, the new PHS JAG Specialist, and welcome her the Pioneer Team.
