A Seed that took root

In 2020, Jyziah Herring joined us as an eighth grader headed into ninth grade — the youngest in the program, and the only one who wasn't from Folkston. His dad made the drive over from a neighboring county all summer so he wouldn't miss it.

That experience stuck. Jyziah started ninth grade in his high school's welding program, where his instructor gave rave reviews on his technique.
