This Concurrent Resolution commends and congratulates several Mississippi students for their outstanding achievements at the Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) National Student Leadership Academy. JAG is a program that helps young people, particularly those facing challenges, to graduate from high school and secure jobs. The resolution highlights that Mississippi students, including A'Myah Robinson, Sylvester Washington, Jr., Colee M. Anthony, and T'Rossi Pernell from Gentry High School, and Zacchaeus Wallace from Jackson School District's Academic & Performing Arts Complex (APAC) Program, performed exceptionally well against participants from 32 other states. Specifically, A'Myah Robinson and Sylvester Washington, Jr. won first place in Project Based Learning, T'Rossi Pernell secured second place in Public Speaking, and Zacchaeus Wallace earned second place in math, making Mississippi the top-performing state overall at the competition. The resolution also acknowledges the broader educational and cultural experiences the students gained during their trip to Washington, D.C., and emphasizes the positive impact of the Jobs for Mississippi Graduates program.
