The Rio Grande High School senior is planning to attend the University of New Mexico in the fall to pursue a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. She credits the Jobs For America’s Graduates program at her school with giving her the confidence to pursue her dream of getting into medical school and becoming a doctor.

We are so excited to celebrate all New Mexico students who are graduating this season. Join us in wishing these graduates a big CONGRATS and stay tuned for more graduates from our JAG sites. They worked hard & they deserve all the recognition! We're so proud 🥹🥳

Check out the wonderful work JAG NM students are doing! The Rio Grande HS JAG class for freshman & sophomores worked on a bilingual group project - writing, illustrating, & reading a children's book. The book is written in English & in Spanish for all the students in our community. This project helped to highlight enviornmental issues and social issues from the perspective of animals. They even made a trailer for the book - all of which was illustrated using AI. This was such a creative project, focusing on real world issues & using emerging technologies to complete their project. We just had to show it off 😁

The wins keep coming & we love to see it! Congrats to 2 of our NM JAG students from Carlsbad who have completed their electrical certifications. We are so proud of the students for taking the next step on their career path. Cheers to lighting up your futures! We want to thank Skill Point Academy for taking on these young students & providing them with the opportunity to expand their education. This opportunity provided our students with the skills to become financially independent and work within any community they are needed.
