Dozens of JM students were able to explore a variety of healthcare careers at Discover Healthcare yesterday at the Heinz Center.

Mr. Hutchins & Mr. Ohl took 12 Rockets to BPA (Business Professionals of America) Regionals yesterday and had a great time! We have 6 official State Qualifiers, with a few more who came close. Goooooo Rockets!

Excited for this new collaboration between JM Graphics Design 2 class & Riverside Elementary. More to come!

Physics classes take over the main entrance this morning.

And that's a wrap for the JM Gives Season. So much fun & so much to be proud of ❤️ Goooooo Rockets 🚀

Before we officially begin winter break, we want to take a moment to celebrate the amazing students we have at RPS! During their annual fundraising competitions, our high school students raised a combined $123,077.95 for local organizations! Thank you, students, for all your hard work and effort to invest back into our community.

Congratulations Rocket staff and students - an amazing effort this year for JM Gives. Have a wonderful winter break, we will see you in 2026!

A huge thank you to our JM community for making our Staff Appreciation Breakfast a big success! It was a great way to start the morning and end a busy month!

When life gives you Rebecca Black, pick up some sticks and jam!

As we wrap up 2025, read Superintendent Pekel's end-of-year letter to see all that we've accomplished in our district: https://rochesterpsmn.edurooms.com/engage/rochester-public-schools/newsletters/superintendent-pekel-s-end-of-year-update.

JM GIVES is going strong this last week! Today even staff were in the spirit with Candyland dress up and the temporary tattoos fundraiser!

Most of us have some JM Spirit Wear laying around....gathering dust, filling our closet, making piles. Put it to NEW use and donate it to the Rocket Community Room. Our JM Spirit Wear is SO popular that we have depleted our supply. Donations can be brought to JM & placed in the yellow bins inside the Main or Athletic Entrances. Thank you in advance!

The JM & Gage Newcomer classes enjoyed some time flying down the JM sledding hill & drinking hot cocoa together 🥰
