Today on #EduTues we are excited to share some great academic accomplishments by our young men from the John C. Tracey Group Home!

Dee is on track to graduate on June 4th! He has applied and gotten into Montgomery College and he also applied at Ohio State University. He has a 3.1 GPA, is employed at Gordon Biersch, and he is being honored at his high school’s scholars dinner! Dee and another student at his school started a discussion group of about 30-40 students that meets every week for which he is the facilitator. 

Vid is making strides in attending classes without skipping. He has been more compliant with school/program rules and he brought his GPA up this quarter from a .57 to a 1.53 which is great and he is also working at Gordon Biersch.

Joe brought home a 4.0 GPA this quarter and overall has been doing very well in the program.

Jose brought in a 2.85 GPA and overall is doing well! His IEP states that he has a disability that effects him academically but his Middle School has been working very closely with him as opposed to sending him to an alternative school. The school is providing him with accommodations and modifications to allow him to participate in the general education curriculum, support his academic success, and keep him in the least restrictive learning environment. 

Mark is in a GED program and is prepared to take the test! He is currently working at Noodles & Company and has been recognized by his employer for his excellent work ethic. He is looking into being a plumber and has been offered a summer internship with a plumbing company. He’s dedicated to getting back on track! 

Each of the JCT residents will be recognized and rewarded for their accomplishments this Thursday at the Home’s Monthly Reward Ceremony.
