JAG SENIORS, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS? If not, YOU SHOULD!
Scholarships take time and effort, but that effort can PAY OFF! Every scholarship you earn can help reduce the amount you have to pay for college—and potentially reduce the student loan debt you carry after graduation. FREE MONEY for college is worth working for! You may have to research but it can be beneficial.
And remember—scholarships are NOT just for straight-A students or star athletes!
There are scholarships for:
⭐ Leadership
🤝 Community Service
💡 Entrepreneurship
🔬 STEM
🩺 Healthcare
💰 Financial Need
🎓 First-Generation College Students
✍️ Essays
🎥 Videos
🏆 Talents, Skills & Interests
…and hundreds of other categories!
START EARLY! Juniors, you don’t have to wait until senior year to begin looking. 👀
Students can strengthen their scholarship opportunities by:
✅ Building a strong resume
✅ Getting involved in school and community activities
✅ Volunteering
✅ Working to improve their GPA
✅ Developing leadership skills
✅ Keeping track of accomplishments and awards
✅ Applying for scholarships CONSISTENTLY
The more scholarships you apply for, the more opportunities you give yourself to earn money for your education.
Don’t count yourself out before you even apply!
A few hours spent completing applications now could mean THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS saved later. MS Tracy Connell will have local scholarships available in the spring semester to apply for. It is work to fill them out but if you do not apply, for sure you will not receive one.
START EARLY. STAY ORGANIZED. KEEP APPLYING. PUT IN THE EFFORT.

Values are the core beliefs, principles, or standards that guide a persons judgement about what is important, right, and desirable in life. That’s exactly what our JAG I students are currently working on! Currently pictured, our students have been split into groups and given a scenario to work through, identifying how they would handle a particular situation and what values may be competing against one another. After completing, the students will have to present their findings to the class!

Our Senior JAG students had a great time putting their teamwork and communication skills into action with the Team Writer Activity!
Each group worked together to decide on a picture they wanted to create, but there was a catch—no one person controlled the marker! Each team member could only hold a string attached to it, which meant completing their drawing required everyone to work together.
Each team also had a leader who helped guide and direct the group while team members communicated, listened, problem-solved, and worked together to accomplish their goal.
This activity was a fun reminder that successful teamwork takes more than everyone simply doing their part. It takes communication, trust, patience, cooperation, leadership, and a willingness to work toward a common goal.
Our Senior JAG students did exactly that—and had plenty of fun, too! Great job all of you.

HHS Senior JAG students had the opportunity to welcome SFC Alicia Grace and SFC William Heron as guest speakers for an important conversation about goals, careers, and reaching your potential. SFC Heron had a great presentation beginning with letting the students know how he got to where he is now - a real life experience.
One message stood out: You may not know exactly where you want to go yet—and that’s okay. What matters is continuing to set goals, explore your options, and create a plan to move forward.
SFC Grace and SFC Heron introduced students to the wide range of career opportunities including those available through the U.S. Army. Students received information about Army career pathways—similar to programs offered through colleges—along with salary overviews to help them think realistically about their futures.
SFC Heron also challenged students to think beyond just one route to success:
Have a Plan A.
Have a Plan B.
Know that there can be more than one path to the career you want.
As our seniors move closer to graduation and some very important decisions, learning about affordable and accessible pathways to education, training, and careers gives them more tools to make informed choices about what comes next.
Thank you, SFC Alicia Grace and SFC William Heron, for investing your time in our HHS Senior JAG students. Thank you for encouraging them to recognize their potential, plan for their future, and remember that there are many different ways to build a successful and meaningful career!

HHS JAG sends a very special THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK to Trevor Davis, HHS Class of 2026, as he begins an exciting new chapter and is at Army Basic Training!
Trevor was an active member of JAG, a Mustang Mentor who gave his time to serve and encourage younger students, and an FFA officer. Through each of these roles, he demonstrated leadership, responsibility, commitment, and a willingness to serve others when needed. Now, he is taking those same qualities with him as he answers a much bigger call to serve our country.
Trevor, we are incredibly proud of the young man you have become and thankful that you were part of our HHS JAG family. The halls of HHS may be behind you, but the lessons, friendships, memories, and people cheering you on will go with you wherever life takes you.
As you face the challenges ahead, remember where you came from, believe in yourself, stay strong, and keep pushing forward—even on the hard days. You have an entire HHS family back home wishing you success every step of the way.
Thank you, Trevor, for choosing to serve our country. Go make us proud—but know that you already have.

Thank you West TN Public Utility for hiring former HHS JAG students, Gage Foster and Jayden Gordon, along with Blaine Todd who was in the engineering department as part of your summer workforce. A great work experience! Now on to college and technical school. HHS JAG wishes you the best.

As summer comes to a close, we want to recognize our summer meter painters!

These hardworking young men painted 7,459 natural gas meters, along with countless risers and farm taps across our system. They also jumped in to assist our meter readers whenever needed, and their positive attitudes and strong work ethic made a real difference all summer long.

We can't wait to see what the future holds as they continue their journeys through college and technical school. We know they'll do great things!

💙❤️ A SMALL TREAT. A BIG WELCOME.
HHS JAG students learn that JAG is more than career readiness and employability skills. It is about building relationships, learning to work together, serving others, and becoming a team.
HHS JAG STUDENTS started the new school year with one simple goal—make every HHS student feel welcomed!
Our Jobs for America’s Graduates students worked together to create Welcome Back treat cards for every student at Huntingdon High School. 🍬📚
It may seem like something small—a card, a treat, and a few encouraging words—but sometimes the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference. Something as simple as saying “We’re glad you’re here!” can help someone feel noticed, included, and like they are part of something bigger.
And that is exactly what JAG is all about. 💙
Our students learn that leadership doesn’t always have to be a big event or a grand gesture. Sometimes leadership is simply taking the time to do something kind for someone else.
Our JAG students wanted their fellow Mustangs & Fillies to begin the year knowing one thing:
You belong here. You matter. And we’re glad you’re part of HHS! 💙💛
Here’s to a great new school year and a school filled with kindness, teamwork, and Mustang & Fillie pride!

🎓 The Final First Day... Welcome Seniors Class of 2027! 💙💛
The first day of class marked the beginning of your final chapter at Huntingdon High School. We are proud of you!
As the Senior Class of 2027 caravaned into HHS together, they continued one of our most treasured traditions—making their way through the halls and into the gym as their senior song filled the air. With underclassmen watching in respect and admiration, seniors gathered as a class to proudly shout the class chant and show their excitement for being the Senior Class of 2027.
This moment is more than a tradition. It’s a celebration of the memories you’ve made, the friendships you’ve built, and the legacy you’re preparing to leave behind.
The road to graduation has begun. Make every lesson count, every opportunity matter, and every moment unforgettable. Lead with integrity, encourage those who follow behind you, and show what it truly means to be a Huntingdon High School senior.
From all of us in Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG), we wish the Class of 2027 an incredible senior year filled with growth, leadership, laughter, and lifelong memories.
This is your year. Make it legendary.
