Participating in a school club or sport = fun, connections & a greater chance of graduating on time. Yesterday, we were able to get one of our JM soccer players into soccer cleats, socks & clothing due to the support of our Rocket Locker - a space dedicated to supporting student athletes in need of quality footwear/clothing/gear. Please consider donating gently used running shoes/spikes, soccer & football cleats, base layers, athletic shorts. All donations can be placed in the yellow bin inside the Main & Athletic Entrances. Thank you!

Free family event.

Free Community Dental Clinic on September 18. See flyer for details.

Rocket Families,
We have come to the end of another incredible school year! What a year it has been at JMHS.
Our Student Leadership Team recently created our vision for next year: “Own Your Impact.” I absolutely love this thinking because it reflects exactly what our students and staff have done throughout this year.
We have seen record attendance from our freshman students and tremendous success through our Freshman on Track efforts. More students than ever are earning 6 or more credits, maintaining C’s or better, and achieving 90% attendance or higher. That is a huge impact on their future — and they should absolutely OWN IT!
Our seniors are pushing hard to the finish line, and we cannot wait to celebrate them at graduation on June 6 at 9:00 a.m. at the Civic Center. We are so proud of all they have accomplished.
For our students returning next year, thank you for the hard work you’ve put in preparing for the 2026–27 school year. Returning students may keep their Chromebooks and chargers over the summer, so please help ensure they are kept safe and ready for next fall. Seniors should return their Chromebooks and chargers to the main office.
As summer begins, I hope everyone takes time to rest and recharge. Read as many books as you can. Spend time outside. Enjoy family dinners. Maybe even paddle a canoe! Most importantly, celebrate this year and enjoy some quiet moments.
Thank you to our amazing students — truly the best in town. Thank you to our incredible families and caregivers. And thank you to our outstanding JM staff. This is a special place.
Go Rockets!!
