Closure
There are 3 “E” of success: Expectations, Encouragement, and Exposure. With all of
these, we have made JSHS a School of Distinction for three straight years; Improved
our graduation rate to its highest in our school’s history; and reduced the drop-out
rate to lower than the state average. We did not do this overnight and we did not do this alone. It has taken the entire JSHS family to
make this happen and with a consistent formula, we will continue to succeed.
