Members of the Natchitoches Junior High School Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) program recently attended the LSU vs. Alabama women’s basketball game, an experience that combined high-energy competition with meaningful student exposure.
From the moment they entered the arena, students were immersed in an electric atmosphere filled with enthusiastic fans, school spirit, and competitive play, leaving a lasting impression on the group.
In addition to watching the game, students had the opportunity to take photos with players and receive autographs, making the outing especially memorable.
The trip also served as an important learning experience, helping students connect classroom lessons to real-world opportunities while encouraging them to envision future goals.
The Natchitoches Junior High School JAG program focuses on leadership development, career exploration, and experiential learning. Experiences like this support those objectives by motivating students, broadening their perspectives, and encouraging success both inside and outside the classroom.
