Martin County High School’s Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) program is celebrating a major victory as their Knowledge Bowl team has been crowned National Champions.

The team traveled to Indianapolis this week to compete in the JAG National Career Development Conference (NCDC). They emerged as champions after a grueling two-day competition. Martin County defeated JAG Missouri in a thrilling final round.

This marks the third consecutive year that Martin County has represented Kentucky in the national Knowledge Bowl competition.

This year’s exceptional team includes senior Tyler Gantt and juniors Russell Maynard, E.J. Harless and Collin Mills. Their hard work, teamwork and dedication have brought national recognition to their school and state.

Congratulations to these outstanding students and their JAG specialist Lance Tackett on this incredible achievement.
