The JMHS Communities in Schools program offers thanks for all your contributions for our students during 2024!
We have need of reusable water bottles for the new year, certainly not expensive Yeti or Stanley cups, but any that you are not using and would like to recycle to our teenagers. When you clean cupboards and find any you can part with, please send to the front office or to CIS or bring them to a home ballgame. We’d sure appreciate it!

Attention Parents of 8th and 9th Grade Students: Please complete a Gear Up Survey by February 7. There is a competition between the schools in the southern region to see which school has the best completion rate.


The JMHS Girls' Basketball Game against Bluefield Beavers will now be at 6:00 P.M. tonight. Please come out and support the girls.
