Jackson Middle School has once again been named state winners in the Explore: The New Manufacturing student video contest, marking back-to-back victories for the school.

The winning video was produced by students under the guidance of teachers Cherish Stavrakis and Ronnie Talbott. The project required students to interview employees at Simonton Windows & Doors, then compile and edit the footage into a finished submission.

The Explore Program is designed to connect students with local manufacturers, building awareness of career opportunities in the industry while fostering partnerships between educators and businesses.

Wood County Schools expressed pride in the students' achievement.
