JCHS Spanish students celebrated “Día de los muertos” (Day of the Dead) this week, celebrating and remembering loved ones who have passed. They celebrated by creating ofrendas (altars), creating and flying ‘barriletes’ (kites), baking ‘pan de muerto’ (bread of the dead), and creating sugar skulls. It was a special week full of Hispanic culture.


The JCHS National Green School Society visited Grafton Elementary 3rd and 4th graders today for hands-on lessons on watersheds and protecting our local waterways from pollution.
Awesome job to our high school mentors and eager young learners! 🐾🌊🌱

JCHS Student Council
A small group of senior JCHS Student Council members were able to attend a leadership conference at Collinsville High School. Our student leaders did an outstanding job at brainstorming positive ways to make an impact at our school, networking with other student council members from many other local high schools, and learning how to take care of themselves so that they can continue to be the leaders they are. Dr. Mark Brown's "Hope Dealers" workshop filled them with positivity that they hope to bring back to JCHS!
