Mrs. Mitchell’s Art classes concluded their annual charity auction, raising just over $2000. This started three years ago with the goal of fostering global & community identity, empowerment, & a heart for others.
All classes participated in a shared theme. One change was the option for staff to commission pieces prior to creation. The support was incredible. The Jersey 100 Community has graciously supported this cause, with many repeat patrons.
Funds were allocated to the following:
Seed’s Academy in Rwanda
“Feed The Community” Jersey 100 Food Drive
Jersey 100 Christmas For Kids
Riverbend Humane Society

The Jersey CUSD No. 100 Board of Education is proud to announce the employment of Dr. Jason Brunaugh as the district’s next Superintendent of Schools, effective July 1, 2027. Dr. Brunaugh will succeed Mr. Brad Tuttle, who is set to retire on June 30, 2027.
The appointment marks a "full circle" moment for the district. A proud alumnus of Jersey CUSD No. 100, Dr. Brunaugh’s deep roots in the community have fueled a twenty-five-year career dedicated to the success of local students and families.
Dr. Brunaugh’s professional journey within the district began as a teacher at Jersey Community Middle School, followed by a role as a Digital Coach. Over the past decade, he transitioned into administration, serving as Principal at both Jersey Community Middle School and Jersey Community High School. Most recently, he has served as the Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Human Resources.
Dr. Brunaugh earned a Bachelor's Degree from Blackburn College in 2001, a Master's Degree from SIUE in 2005, a Doctorate Degree and Superintendent's endorsement from Maryville University in 2017, and completed the Chief School Business Officer endorsement from the University of Illinois Springfield.
For the next eighteen months, Dr. Brunaugh will continue his current duties as Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Human Resources. This transition period is designed to ensure a seamless leadership handoff, allowing him to work closely with Mr. Tuttle to prepare for Jersey 100’s next era of success.
Please join the Board of Education in congratulating Dr. Brunaugh on his new appointment!

The bi-annual Masters of the Constitution breakfast was held this morning. Each semester, the senior Government students with the highest score on the U.S. Constitution Exam are treated to breakfast. It's the least we can do! This exam isn't just about memorization and recall (though it certainly does that). It asks students to APPLY the principles of the U.S. Constitution to real life. So congratulations to these members of the Class of 2026, and best of luck to you all! 💙

Our Digital Coaches attended the Illinois Education and Technology Conference last month to present their session, "Leveling Up with Expertise Badges." They demonstrated how a structured badging system, using skill-based challenges, empowers students to take ownership of their learning. It was a privilege to share the district's success in fostering autonomous learning in the makerspace environments. 💡🚀💻


Our West Elementary students had an absolute blast in the gym this week! To get into the holiday spirit, PE class transformed into a winter wonderland. Students took turns giving sleigh rides and "delivering presents" to practice their teamwork, strength, and coordination.
