It’s decision time! 🍎 If you’re looking for your next "home," I want that choice to be JMCSS.

We aren’t perfect, but we are purposeful. My #1 rule is Love Your Employees, and my team and I strive every day to ensure our schools are safe, caring spaces where you can truly belong.

There’s always work to do, but I know you’ll L❤️VE doing it with us!

Can’t wait to celebrate at EduFEST 2026 (district-wide tailgate)—it’s going to be a blast. Join our family -- you won't regret!✨

Current staff: Please retweet! 🔁
