Mission Statement 
To provide students aged 16 – 21 with the personalized educational experiences they need to build successful futures by overcoming the economic, social and personal challenges that caused them to fail in other high schools.
 
Wildcatter: “One who drills wells in the hope of finding oil in territory not known to be an oil field.” In other words, it is one who discovers rich resources others have missed.

Student Council volunteers at Trinity Wall Street Brown Bag Program
By Cecilia Sakosky

The Student Council and students of JVL Wildcat Academy joined together in December to raise money for the Brown Bag Lunch program sponsored by Trinity Wall Street. The Brown Bag Lunch program provides brown-bag lunches filled with nutritious food which are handed out from the north side of Trinity Church on Tuesday and Thursday each week. The program relies on donations from the community and volunteers to pack and hand out lunches. Read more on Trinity’s New Lunch Ministry for People in Need here
