The Hammond High School Wildcats ad-
vanced to the Sectional Championship Fri-
day, Nov. 6, 2015 to meet the Mishawaka
Marian Knights (8-3). Hammond High ad-
vanced with a record of 10-1, leading the
Class 3A GLAC (Great Lakes Athletic Confer-
ence). Devon Moore, 2nd year JAG student,
is leading the Wildcats with a season
record of 2,008 yards passing and 880 yards
rushing. Individual achievements aside,
this year's Hammond High Wildcats were a
force to be reckoned with in Indiana. Alt-
hough the Wildcats did not advance
through sectionals we are very proud of the
gentleman's hard work and dedication.

Indiana College Application Day
Left: West Side High School JAG students are holding a poster they
created to support Indiana College Application day that took
place on Friday, October 23, 2015. Seniors were encouraged to
complete the “Common Application” that cover most Indiana col-
leges. Right: West Side High School JAG students are pictured in
the computer lab that was made available to them to complete
college applications on Indiana College Application Day.
The JAG students of Theodore Roosevelt
High School rewarded their hard work by
hosting a party for the JAG students to
come together and enjoy good food.
Students support Women’s Health Awareness Month-Breast Cancer
West Side High School JAG stu-dents showed their support by creating treat bags for Wom-en’s Health Awareness Month. The bags contained a Snickers bar, M&M’s, & mints with a small note that read “The an-
nual exam is nothing to SNICKER at, JAG wishes you M&M’s, many more years of
health and wellness.”
Students from East Chica-
go Central High School,
Calumet New Tech, and
A.K. Smith Career Center
created beautiful letters to
contribute to Girls Love
Mail, a place where the
gift of hand-written letters
are collected and sent to
newly diagnosed breast
cancer patients.
College Tour
The Knox High School JAG students took a tour of
Purdue University of Lafayette and stopped at
the local WorkOne office of Knox to learn more
about college and career readiness.

Chicago Basketball Legend-Ronnie
Fields, Speaks to MCHS Athletes
and JAG Students
Students were treated to a preview of
Ronnie Field’s documentary of his life
“Bounce Back” on 11/2/15. The documen-
tary highlighted the highs and lows of his
life along with his stellar basketball
moves. After turning his life around he
went on to play in leagues around the
world. He reminded them that perception
often turns into reality, so if they are really
interested they need to show up early and
stay late. He encouraged them to fight
when the odds were against them and get
an education.
