Jobs for America's Graduates: Helping Students Find Their Own Way

For the past four years, Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) has been offered to high school students in the Sioux Falls School District, making a meaningful impact on their lives. Through JAG, students are exposed to career paths they may have never considered. They connect with business leaders, politicians, and industry experts who provide valuable insights into future opportunities and the steps needed to achieve their goals. Nicole Fette has taught JAG at Roosevelt High School for all four of these years, and she has seen first hand how the program benefits students. Mrs. Fette has seen complete transformations of students over the course of their time in JAG, and her passion and enthusiasm for helping students is clear from the moment you meet her. It's no wonder she was recently nominated for the 2025 Teacher of the Year Award!
