Twelve Lincoln High School students in Kyela. Jones' JAG (Jobs for America's Graduate) class traveled to Evansville to compete in the annual JAG Career Development Conference .
The conference brought together students from 11 schools across southwestern Indiana, giving them the opportunity to showcase their skills, explore career pathways, and network with potential employers.
Throughout the event, students participated in both individual and team competitions designed to highlight key employability skills.
Events included financial literacy challenges, prepared speaking competitions, and knowledge bowl contests, among others.
Lincoln students had an outstanding showing, securing top placements and earning cash prizes!
"Words can't express how proud I am of these students," said JAG teacher Kyela Jones.
