ELLISVILLE – It’s been three years since SkillsUSA students at Jones College competed in the State Competition, yet they continued their “winning ways” this year, coming home with plenty of gold. JC SkillsUSA advisor, Ryan Hearn said he was thrilled with how all the students performed.

“We had the most competitors at the state contest with 19 students and we brought home 17 medals. It was a very strong showing for the college and we anticipate it to continue to grow every year,” Hearn said proudly.

The last time a Jones College team competed and won the engineering technology design category was in 2019. That team of students, C.J. Hoodless of Ellisville, Preston Hammonds of Leakesville and Lakelin Smith of Lucedale also earned Gold Medals at the National Competition. Covid-19 concerns halted and modified competition over the past couple of years. Regardless, the Jones College engineering design technology design team took the top trophy again and continued the winning tradition. The three-person team of Jose` Mendez of Laurel, Ruben Diaz of Lucedale and Trevor Courtney of Bassfield created an attachment for a weed eater, which won over the judges because of its practicality.

“Our attachment allows you to weed-eat and edge using just the weed eater. Turning the weed eater horizontally with our attachment, allows you to roll it on the ground so you don’t have to hold it up while trying to also edge with the weed-eater,” explained Courtney who also serves as the President of the Jones College SkillsUSA chapter. “The three of us brainstormed about possible ideas and since we all do yard work, we wanted to design something that would make yard work more cost effective and efficient.”

Jones College students have won this category since its introduction which combines civil engineering, drafting, design and entrepreneurial skills. Additionally, each team was judged by company professionals considering the originality of their product, presentation and explanation of how and why the product was created, the manufacturing process and the financial and future analysis of the 3-D printed invention. Each piece was drawn on a 3D software program and then printed on 3D printers separately, which added some difficulty finishing their creation according to Courtney.

“Our printers are not large enough to print the whole set out at one time, so we had to print the pieces and then figure out how to mold them together,” said Courtney. “We knew we had a lot of guidance and materials at JC, so we felt like we had a good shot of winning. Not many other community colleges are capable of even doing the things we did so we feel confident going to Nationals.”

By doing every aspect of the process to create and produce an original product, Hearn explained is the best possible way to prepare students for the “real world” in the engineering field. SkillsUSA’s competitions give students opportunities to excel and prepare them for the workforce.

“It would be very difficult to win without both of these programs (civil engineering technology and CAD engineering), especially at the SkillsUSA competition because it takes both skills to make it work,” said Hearn.

Other first place winners include Blake Stokes of Glade in Electrical Construction Wiring; Elijah Sellers of Hattiesburg in Extemporaneous Speaking; Jareen Green of Leakesville in Technical Drafting and the Quiz Bowl Team of Ethan Ainsworth of Laurel, Aldo Velasco of Laurel, Oscar Gomez of Laurel, James Grayson of Laurel, Juan Carlos of Hernandez of Laurel and Lee Mixon of Stonewall.

“Some questions were about the SkillsUSA organization but there were a lot more questions about current events and trivia,” explained Mixon. “The winning team had to earn 70 points and if you’re not sure about the answer, and answer incorrectly, the mistakes cost the team. Also, this was a timed competition but at Nationals we’ll compete directly against other teams.”

Earning second place silver medals at the SkillsUSA State Competition were Jason Eason of Laurel in Job Interview; Stephen Holifield of Laurel in HVAC; Thomas Broadhead of Sandersville in Job Skill Demo Open; Jakob Anderson of Purvis in Architectural Drafting and Mason Broadus of Collins in Related Technical Math.

Students placing first place at the State Competition are invited to compete at the National Competition in Atlanta, Georgia on June 19 to 23.

ELLISVILLE – Twenty-five graduates of the Jones College Associate Degree Nursing program are entering the nursing profession at a time when demand has never been greater. During the Pinning and Commencement Ceremony, A.D.N. Program Director, Mike Cummings stated, “These graduates will fill an important role in the care of our citizens at a time when the population’s need for medical care is also growing.” 

Class President, Shelby Csaszar Littleton of Hattiesburg will start her nursing career at Gulfport Memorial Hospital on their Progressive Care Unit, noting she feels Jones College prepared her well for the profession.

“I started the A.D.N. program in August 2021, and it’s crazy to think that nearly two years have come and gone in the blink of an eye. It’s no secret that nursing school is tough, but I truly believe that Jones’ A.D.N. program is led by some of the most competent and caring instructors that prepared us not only for our licensure board exams, but also for real world nursing. I have learned so much from my instructors in both the classroom and clinical setting, and I believe I will be a better nurse in the very near future because of attending the A.D.N. program here at Jones,” said Csaszar.

The graduating class of 2023 includes Danielle Leigh Beech, Laurel; Marissa Terryal Bender, Bay Springs; William Beau Blackledge, Hattiesburg; Shelby Nicole Csaszar Littleton, Hattiesburg; Rebekah Elisabeth Denham, Laurel; Lakyn M Edwards, Leakesville; Baylee Madison English, Richton; Alyssa Haley Guy, Laurel; Tara Miranda Hair, State Line; Samantha Paige Hawkins, Seminary; Victoria H Hill, New Augusta; Catalynn Gabbie Hodge, Laurel; Nikki Marie Hough, Taylorsville; Summer Nicole Hughes, Mize; Gracie Jacquline Ingram, Mt. Olive; Anya Cedrianna Kellum, Hattiesburg; Justin Earl Keyes, Taylorsville; Richard Lee Klug, Collins; Kelli Nicole McNease, Sumrall; Carleigh Leann Murray, Enterprise; Kellie Lott Saulters, Collins; Abigail Lee Strange, Ellisville; Myles Christian Vince, Enterprise; Kourtney Marae Wells, Columbia and Charles Joseph Zickus, Ellisville.

Earning additional recognition at the ceremony were Rebekah Denham of Laurel and Nikki McNease of Sumrall for being inducted into the A.D.N. Honor Society, Alpha Delta Nu, Gamma Mu Chapter at Jones College.

ELLISVILLE – Jones College recently hosted 19 members of the 110 members in the Jones County Agricultural High School Class of 1955 for its 68th Reunion. Each year, fewer of these 85-year-olds can gather for the reunion, but those that are able to attend the reunion enjoy planning and meeting every two years. Jones College President, Dr. Jesse Smith commended the class for continuing its traditional biennial reunion and invited the group to be honored at Homecoming.

“They are probably the oldest group of alumni who still meet regularly and are proud to be American citizens and alumni of Jones County Agricultural High School. JCAHS shared the campus with the college students before moving to its own campus in 1965. Many of these alumni stayed to take two years of college classes on campus, spending a total of six years on the Ellisville campus,” said Smith. “They have lots of memories to share and cherish with one another. Even if they are unable to return as a class to Homecoming this October, they will return in two years to celebrate with their classmates. I admire this class’s determination to celebrate one another.”

Led by then Class President, the Honorable Charles Pickering and his wife, Margaret Ann, who served as Vice President of the 1955 class, have coordinated every reunion with a group of classmates assisting. This group has returned to campus or a venue nearby, every two years to reminisce about when they believed, was the best time to be alive.

As Charles Pickering noted at the class reunion, “The 1950’s was during a time of peace when America was reveling in the win of World War II. Life was good for most, and everyone was proud to be an American. Patriotism was visible, unlike today. We need to pray for our country to return to the days where everyone was more patriotic,” said Pickering.

Former JCJC Foundation Director, Paula Walters moderated the special patriotic program which included two special musical guests. Joining the JCAHS Class of 1955, was Susan Alexander on saxophone and James Arrington on piano. The two performed God Bless America and Alexander performed a solo of the National Anthem. Class member, Hilton Ray Walters who traveled from Atlanta for the reunion, led the group in the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag.

After being moved by the musical performance, Robert Hilbun the husband of JCAHS alumnus Gail Hilbun, reminded everyone about the Korean War Memorial outside the chapel on the JC campus. Some of their classmates participated in that war and he was proud the College has a tribute to honor them. He encouraged everyone to continue to pray for all the members of the military and their families. 

The 68^th Class Reunion concluded with a luncheon prepared by the Sodexo cafeteria staff at Jones College, as everyone shared their favorite experiences as Jones County Agricultural High School students.

Additionally, The JCAHS Class of 1955 established a scholarship to be awarded to eligible Jones College students that are descendants of the JCAHS Class of 1955. Class members said they hope the scholarship will be an incentive to get 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation students to discover Jones College, like they did. Jones College students applying for Foundation Scholarships are required to meet academic guidelines before scholarships are awarded. Jones College students can apply for Foundation Scholarships by checking the website, https://www.jcjc.edu/alumni_foundation/scholarships/ in January 2024, for Jones College Foundation scholarships to be awarded for the fall 2024 semester.

Tax-deductible contributions towards the JCAHS Scholarship or other scholarships can be mailed to Jones County Junior College Foundation, Inc. at 900 South Court Street, Ellisville, Mississippi, 39437, or contributions can be made online at https://www.jcjc.edu/alumni_foundation/giving-support/.
