One of the many goals of the Jobs
for Illinois Graduates Program is
to improve high school graduation rates. This year the JILG
program at Massac County High
School had a 100% graduation
rate. All 37 JILG students received a high school diploma, 92% of these students have already registered for college or have enlisted in a branch of
the military and 62%
currently have at least a
part-time job. The JILG
program will be in place
next year at Massac with a tentative enrollment of
45 students.
