Students Vouch for Vital School Program

Posted on May 21, 2019 |

BENTON HARBOR — A Benton Harbor High School senior’s testimony in Lansing is helping bring attention to the Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates program, which was at one point on the chopping block as state officials go through the process of putting together the 2019-20 budget, which starts Oct. 1. Senior Tamia Clay told members of the Michigan Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Talent and Economic Growth on April 16 that JMG put her on the right path as she prepares to graduate from high school. She said she used to be up late a lot and didn’t pay much attention to how she presented herself. That changed when she enrolled in specialist Corey Sterling’s JMG class her junior year…

Student Success - Mani, Windover High School.
Last year Mani attended JMG Legislative Day and conquered his fear of public speaking by meeting with his elected representatives. During the current academic year, Mani not only excelled as a leader, but he also worked hard and was able to graduate high school two trimesters early. Mani also served as JMG historian, running the Instagram account for his classroom and participated in a variety of JMG events.
Mani recently was awarded the 2019 Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen award for Windover High School. He has bright plans for his future and intends to enroll at Delta Community College to pursue a career in health care.

Mani had this to say about his experience with JMG. “JMG taught me to expand upon my comfort zone and try new things. It also taught me that you can’t hold yourself back. I was able to start controlling my anxiety more and become a leader within my classes.”

Keep up the good work Mani! We are proud of all your accomplishments!

Windover High Kim Bordeau
