The automotive service program at JEL was my favorite class in high school. I looked forward to it every day. The program not only improved my knowledge of automotive service but aided in skills such as problem solving and perseverance. The program, most importantly, in my opinion, helped me build my confidence which has been extremely beneficial to me ever since I've left high school. I am more confident in myself and my work and I also feel much more comfortable standing up for myself. I encourage anyone who can to take a JEL class.

As a high school student, not really knowing what you want to do once you graduate is difficult. With JEL, it allowed me to pursue an interest and see where it could take me! JEL was one way I made friends with people outside of my high school. It showed me that there are more people out there then who I go to school with. Law Enforcement was an amazing class! With JEL, I was given friends, life lessons, and mentors for life!

 I have benefited so much from this program [Medical Assisting]! It has set me up to be successful in nursing school and health careers in the future! My instructor has been amazing and I’m so thankful for her!

I would 100% recommend my program [EMT] to another student. I really enjoyed being an EMT student this year. My goal is to eventually be a physician assistant or a physician and I believe being in the EMT program helped me learn when it comes to working with patients, and about the human body.
