My Project

We are excited to share with you a wonderful initiative taking place at our school this year and we believe it's an opportunity that aligns perfectly with your generous support for our student's success.

In our ongoing efforts to equip our students with essential life skills and job readiness, we have introduced a remarkable program: Appropriately named "Jaguar Joe,".

This Coffee Service will be run by our talented cluster students. The benefits of a program such as this one provide our students with a unique hands-on experience that prepares them for their future endeavors.

With the Jaguar Joe program, our cluster students will be directly involved in serving our esteemed school staff with freshly brewed coffee and other delightful beverages. While it might seem like a simple task, the impact of this experience on our student's personal growth and employability cannot be overstated.

Throughout their participation in the Jaguar Joe program, our students will develop and refine several crucial skills that are vital for their success in the workforce. These skills include financial literacy, teamwork and collaboration, order management, organization, and the importance of excellent customer service.

By supporting the Jaguar Joe program, you are helping King College Prep empower our students with these vital job readiness skills. We firmly believe that by investing in their personal and professional growth, we are shaping the leaders of tomorrow who will make a significant positive impact on their communities and beyond.
