JGS High School is Registered with NCAA!

NCAA: Supporting student-athlete success on the field, in the classroom and in life by integrating athletics into higher education.

The JGS high school is now registered with the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Eligibility Center! The NCAA review process ensures that our high school program is adequately preparing college-bound student-athletes to succeed in the college classroom. As a result of the review and our school registration, JGS student-athletes who register with the NCAA (during their sophomore year) are eligible to play college sports! 🙂
