These 2 Jersey City High Schools Won Summer Jam Tickets

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Vaccinated students at Dickinson High School and McNair Academic will be closing out the summer with the sounds of Summer Jam after the two schools won the city's youth vaccine contest.

Jersey City partnered with HOT 97 for a new vaccination contest geared towards high school students. Between August 4 - August 14 students were urged to get vaccinated and the two high schools with the highest vaccination rate at the end of the contest won tickets to the HOT 97 Summer Jam concert at MetLife Stadium for the entire vaccinated student body.

On Friday, the city announced Dickinson High School and McNair Academic were the winners. All vaccinated students, regardless of when they got vaccinated, are eligible for a free ticket. The city went a step further and is providing a Summer Jam ticket for every single teenager from any of the other participating schools who was vaccinated at one of the city locations in the past two weeks.

Summer Jam will be hosted on Sunday and feature artists like A Boogie, Meek Mill, Swiss Beats and Saweetie.

Students can pick up tickets on Friday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at vaccine sites across the city, but must bring a student ID and their vaccine card. Tickets can also be picked up at the Newport Center Mall on Saturday from 12-5 p.m. and at the City Hall Annex on Sunday from 12-5 p.m.

"When we started the program, we were at 47 percent of our eligible school-age population vaccinated, and as a city, we are now at 66 percent of overall students vaccinated. The winning schools had 241 students & 178 students each come through the vaccination sites we set up at the high schools," a tweet from the city reads.
