Shelby Williams earned 1st place in Public Speaking and advanced to the state competition.

(North Vernon, Ind.) - On Thursday, Milan JAG students traveled to North Vernon’s Education and Training Center to compete in the Regional Career Development Conference.

This group of students is made up of juniors and seniors, who are in the Jobs Across America program at Milan HS. This program at Milan HS teaches students career skills and life experiences before their graduation. By learning from many career speakers, these students can pursue the right career pathway for them. At Milan, the JAG class also takes care of the recycling for the MS and the HS buildings.

Many students succeed at their topics and interviews:

Shelby Williams- 1st in Public Speaking
Lydia Linville- 3rd in Employability Skills
Hunter Scudder- 3rd in Financial Literacy
Allison Doyle- 3rd in Critical Thinking
Ellana Jutzi- Outstanding Senior
Grace Bruce- Career Presentation
Logan Burton- Creative Solutions
Lucas Drew- Writing Skills

Shelby Williams will move on to the State JAG CDC coming up on March 15 with public speaking.
