Career awareness is the foundation of everything we do in JAG! This month our students are exploring their person values, skills, and interests to align them with their future career goals. From researching labor market trends to identifying educational requirements, they are building the confidence to speak proudly about their future plans! ❤️🤍💙 Check out this newsletter for more info on what’s happening in the JAG classroom in September!

JAG students have started the year strong by creating their own “JAG Canvas” including strengths, career interests, desired lifestyle, and values! Students presented to the class without hesitation and were excited to share.

That’s our president! Congratulations Abby! We are so proud of you!

Celebrating an Outstanding Yellow Jacket!

Williamsburg Independent School is proud to recognize Miss Abigail Jackson for her outstanding achievements and leadership.

Last year, Abby was selected to represent Williamsburg Independent School as our Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival Princess Candidate. The Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival, held annually in Pineville, is one of Kentucky's oldest and most prestigious traditions. Since 1931, it has celebrated the Commonwealth's Appalachian heritage while bringing together representatives from colleges, universities, and select high schools across the state. Representing Williamsburg Independent School was a tremendous honor, and Abby did so with grace and pride.

Abby has also earned national recognition for her writing. Last year, her teacher, Mrs. Becky Hamilton, submitted one of Abby's original poems to the American Library of Poetry's 2026 Student Poetry Contest. Over the summer, Abby was named a National Finalist, and her poem will be published, officially making her a published author!

In addition to these accomplishments, Abby serves as the President of Williamsburg High School's Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) Career Association, where she continues to lead by example.

Congratulations, Abby! We are incredibly proud of you and all that you've accomplished. Your Yellow Jacket family can't wait to see what the future holds!
