Sanger High School Seniors Open Student-Run Manufacturing Company, Jet Creations

SANGER, NOVEMBER 7, 2026 — Five seniors at Sanger High School have launched Jet Creations, a student-operated business that produces custom engraved and fabricated items using laser and water-jet cutting machines.

From classroom to customer orders

Students Ben Smith, Ryder Wagner, Sean Amaya, Jayden Tung and Sharman Ghotra developed the company’s name, brand and online presence. They work together on customer designs, production files and manufacturing rather than dividing every task into isolated roles. Their business launched at an October student showcase and is now accepting inquiries.

How the program is funded

Jet Creations is part of the Valley Regional Occupational Program’s Student-Led Enterprises initiative, which uses grant funding to help students gain practical business and technical experience. Program support helped the team obtain a water-jet cutting machine. The experience brings engineering, design, customer service and entrepreneurship into a real production workflow.

Supporting local students

Residents and businesses interested in custom work can review the students’ products and reach out through the public contact information shared by the program. As with any business, discuss specifications, cost and delivery directly before placing an order. The project is a current student enterprise and an educational initiative, not a promise of guaranteed future revenue or employment.
