Jena High School

Courtesy of the Jena Times...LaSalle 4-H youth recently attended the 104th 4-H University held in Baton Rouge, June 16 – 20. Over 1,300 4-H youth and volunteer leaders from Louisiana’s 64 parishes came to the LSU campus to participate in contests and learning activities. This year’s theme was “We’re All in This Together.” Assemblies and activities centered on the High School Musical Program. In addition to over 33 contests and 11 Clover College tracks to choose from, 4-H’ers participated in workshops, seminars, ceremonies and just for fun activities. During the state event, members also elect new state officers and regional representatives for the state 4-H executive board, and select national conference delegates and members of six state leadership boards.  

JHS JAG Specialist, Ron Carr was recently awarded the JAG 5 out of 5 Award for the tremendous work of his Jena High JAG program.  33 out of 107 JAG programs received this most prestigious award.  The 5\5 award is for Graduation rate, Positive Outcomes Rate, Full Time Jobs Rate,  Full Time Placement Rate, and the Employment Rate of JAG students.  Of the 14 years that JHS has participated in the JAG program, they have received the coveted award for 12 of those years.  This award is a National and State achievement.   Mr. Carr who is now a veteran of the program is often called for consultation due to his vast wealth of JAG program expertise.  Congratulations Mr. Carr and JHS JAG.
