It was a great day to be a yellow jacket! 🧡 Loved getting to help plan this awesome day! #1community1jm #jmstrong

JM Jackets welcomed ninth graders for their first day of school. The staff warmly welcomed the incoming students, along with the marching band and their fellow peers. We can't wait to see all students tomorrow and look forward to what the Class of 2027 brings to Jayem!

The average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950’s.

On Tuesday, January 10th, JMHS students were able to peruse their CTE course options for the 2023-2024 school year. From guinea pig cuddling to crime scene investigation tape, students had the range of experiences to partake in.
