Dear Families,
Our community has a really wonderful opportunity to show our Hoosier hospitality to a cohort of worthy young scholars who have had the honor of being selected by the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program—named after one of our very own most famous sons of Indiana, Senator Richard Lugar. We also have other student available at PAX.org if you are looking for a Spanish, German or Thailand student.
The YES program is fully funded by the U.S. Department of State and these students are selected from among thousands of candidates for the honor of attending American high school and living with an American Family. The organization supporting these kids (PAX.org) has a strong presence and long history in Indiana but due to the challenges they are having finding families in the public schools, we are reaching out to our schools who are still accepting students for help.
Would you or someone you know be willing to welcome one of these great kids (profiles below) into our community? I hope that we will be able to answer the call as PAX’s mission encourages us to Open Doors, Embrace Culture, Become Family.
Thank you for your consideration and friendship.
For more information or to start the process to be a host family, please contact

ASVAB Career Exploration Program
Wednesday, August 24, 2022 Morristown Jr Sr High School will be offering all 10th and 11th grades students as well as select 12th grade students the opportunity to take part in the ASVAB Career Exploration Program (ASVAB CEP)
The ASVAB CEP promotes career literacy through personalized career exploration, awareness of career-field entry requirements, and future-oriented planning tools that help students develop an action plan they can share with parents and educators.
The ASVAB CEP is more than a Military test; itʼs about understanding options. The ASVAB, just one part of the ASVAB CEP, assesses academic ability and predicts success in a variety of career fields, offering a unique opportunity for all students to learn about themselves, whether they’re interested in pursuing post-secondary education, work-based learning, or the Military.
The Department of Defense sponsors the ASVAB CEP with a two part mission: to provide a career exploration service to American youth and provide qualified leads to Military recruiters*.
Participants have no obligation to talk to a Military recruiter or enter Military service. However, students in 11th grade and beyond can use their scores to consider enlistment if they choose.
The ASVAB CEP is also a way that students can meet part of the Post Secondary Ready Competencies for High School Graduation.
For more information about the ASVAB program please visit this website
