For the last three years, the Junction City High School Marketing class has teamed up with Eagle Radio's 107.9 FM / 1420 KJCK Radio in a joint effort to help the students gain valuable experience in marketing.

Under the leadership and guidance of Marketing teacher Christina Amerin, the students prepare scripts and copy to read in the form of an ad on the radio.

Amerin noted that one of the purposes of being in a CTE (Career and Technical Education) focused high school is to provide hands-on learning. "This experience allows students to not only learn about marketing but to do it in real-time, which is when real learning occurs," Amerin said.

Students were promoting and highlighting upcoming school programs, events and sports games.

All the ads recorded by the students will air on Eagle Radio's 107.9 FM / 1420 KJCK.

Students that are not pictured but also recorded ads are: Nathaniel Adams, Kolby Brodoski, Scholar Brown, Akashia Butler, Isaiah Byers, Scotty Cary,  Kattiria De Leon, Ryan Dzib-Ramirez, Aaron Galiza,  Soren Gatbonton, Jesse Holtcamp, Christian Jefferson, Sky Kiwaha-Choy, Unity Lawson, Homer Lising, Isaiah Miller, Mason Pilling, Luis Resendiz, David Skinner, Patrick Taylor, Elijah Walters.
