The JAG program is in its third year at Topeka West and the state of Kansas. JAG is a for-credit elective class which offers instruction on the JAG curriculum combined with student-led intra-curricular activities. Classroom instruction is based on a series of competencies consisting of skills that are relevant to life after high school:

a) Career Development
b) Job Attainment & Survival
c) Basic Academic Skills
d) Leadership and Self Development
e) Personal Skills
f) Life Survival Skills
