LEARNING BY DOING The Joint Vocational School is a learning by doing auxiliary high school that offers functional and practical vocational programs. In specialized shops and laboratories, students develop the skills, understanding, and positive attitudes needed to obtain good jobs and to succeed in the world of work. Although the JVS student is still registered in his home high school and may participate in extracurricular activities there, he or she spends six hours a day in classes at the vocational school with an emphasis on laboratory experiences. The 203 South studnets, enrolled in 28 different programs ranging from auto body repair to food services, enter the world of work with a perception of what is in store for them in the future. JVS

CAN THIS REALLY BE SCHOOL! JVS! What other school prepares a student for skilled work in various occupations, yet allows them to return to their home school for extracurriculum activities. The students who go there even graduate from their home high school as well as from JVS. Just think, you could have your friend in dental assistant class practice on your teeth; just make sure that she has done her homework before she begins with real life patients like yourself. If you don ' t come out of the cosmetology class looking like Miss America, remember that the JVS student is still learning to be the best. All in all, there are a lot of opportunities for those students who participate in these programs and a lot of fun to be had while they are learning their trade. Students develop skills, understanding, and positive attitudes needed for success in the world of work. JVS 43
