Thanks to MCJAS Education Staff, GED Staff, Canton Local West Campus, and best of Luck to Mrs. Wentworth from NP Schools

MCJAS would like to thank all their education staff for another good school year. MCJAS receives their education from Canton South, United Local, and New Philadelphia schools. MCJAS has been blessed to work with great staff and great school districts.

MCJAS had another great year with many youth getting their GED while in the custody of MCJAS. MCJAS would like to thank Canton Local Educators for their time and commitment to these youth and their great accomplishment this past school year.

Canton South West Campus had another productive school year not only including their own students, but students from Fairless as well. This has been a great success and great working relationship the last three years with this academic program.

Finally, MCJAS would like to wish Superintendent Mrs. Amy Wentworth the best of luck as she will be Superintendent of Indian Valley Schools next school year. Mrs. Wentworth has been great to worth with, and a true professional with MCJAS over the years. We wish her nothing but the best and thank her for her time at New Philadelphia schools and her assistance with Attention Center South during an educational/operational transition.
