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!
