JKL Student Spotlight: Meet Jamarion from Eastern Hills High School 

Jamarion is an excellent JKL student and a great athlete, closing out his junior year experience this senior year! The welcoming family environment and peer support have had a lasting impact since his first year in the JKL program. Ever since his first field trip to the Main Event Dallas, a vibrant entertainment hub where people come together for food, fun, and friendly competition, he has made friends who would ultimately become his core friend group throughout high school. “My JKL instructors have been there to help me when I was going through a rough time. The support, community service, and new experiences have been a true highlight for me.” Jamarion, a teen father, takes pride in caring for his son, excelling academically, and participating in sports such as Football and Basketball, and the JKL program. 

“Jamarion’s optimism through his adversity is admirable”- JKL Instructor 

As Jamarion enters his senior year, he is looking forward to more community service activations and trips to explore more of Texas through JKL opportunities. After graduation, Jamarion is eyeing possible enrollment at The University of North Texas. We are excited to see him in action this year! Jamarion, we’re proud to support Henry on his journey and can’t wait to see where his talents and dedication take him next!
