MP Profile
Meet Mr. Art Jenkins!
He is in his fifth year as a paraprofessional with the Access Department. He has been married for 51 years. He and his wife have 3 daughters, 9 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.
When asked what he likes most about his job, he said "working with professional and caring co-workers and our students." His hobbies are "golf and golf"! If he could travel back in time, he would like to go back to the 1950s, when he was a youngster, growing up in Lanett, Alabama. If he did not have to sleep, he would use the extra time to read and finish his wife's "honey-do" list. People come to him when they need help with solutions to everyday problems. He said that being involved in sports helped to make him who he is today.

Attention Seniors
The FAFSA® is the application that students must complete to apply for federal student aid, which can be used to attend an eligible college or career school. Federal student aid includes Federal Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work-study opportunities. In addition to determining eligibility for federal student aid, many states, private organizations, colleges, and career schools rely on information from the FAFSA to determine eligibility for nonfederal sources of aid.
ALL students must complete this form regardless of parent income. The 2018 FAFSA application will become available
October 1st
