Fast forward to college, he got the opportunity to open for Jacques and JayDaYoungan along with performing at numerous other events. Nowadays, Jaleel is living the simple life as college graduate continuing his career in information technologies but still pursuing his dreams full time…

Today we have a very important member of the South Bend community, the principal of John Adams high school, Mr. Jim Seitz! Mr. Seitz has called South Bend his home his entire life. Mr. Seitz left South Bend briefly after graduating from John Adams High School to attend college on a basketball scholarship, but found he missed his family and returned home to attend IU South Bend. Still passionate about basketball, Seitz decided to major in math education, so he could teach and coach high school students. Taking upper level math courses at IU South Bend, he found the coursework challenging, but worth the effort. After graduating from IU South Bend, Seitz taught math and coached basketball at Washington High School for eight years before earning his master’s degree in educational leadership. He served as assistant principal at Riley High School for one year before becoming the principal at his high school alma mater John Adams High School in 2014. As the Principal of John Adams for eight years now, he has had three main goals overall for Adams as a whole; setting students up for success after high school, keeping a 90% or higher graduation rate, and teaching students how to live and work well with others. On November 21, 2022, Principal James Seitz was awarded Indiana Principal of the Year for District Two. David and I are seniors at Adams and we have definitely enjoyed our time here. So we thought why not get the man who plays a big part in that…
