Due to impending weather, the Super Cat Bus will not be running this evening.


It's Throwback Thursday with this incredible teacher! Did you know? They used to be a JMHS wide receiver and basketball player! Now, they're bringing that same dedication and passion to the court as they teach our boys basketball players skills and valuable life lessons! Let's celebrate their journey from athlete to mentor! Mr. Chuck Ellis, we appreciate everything you do for JM and the students!

This week's Motivational Monday quote, handpicked by Ms. Michelle Young, is a gem from Brook Shields: "Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window or break down a door."
Let's embrace this powerful reminder to seize every moment with joy and resilience! Whether faced with challenges or opportunities, let's keep pushing forward with positivity and determination! #MotivationalMonday #SeizeTheMoment #Resilience


Flashback Friday! Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the incredible moments DECA brought us this year! From District 18 Officer Training, where our officers were installed, engaged in leadership workshops, and had a blast with arcade games, to the unforgettable experience of competing, networking, and attending workshops at the international DECA competition in Anaheim, California - it's been a year to remember!
Let's not forget how they showed up to cheer on JM Basketball in Norfolk this year.
Congratulations to our DECA superstars on their phenomenal achievements! Keep shining bright! #DECAStars #FlashbackFriday #DECAExcellence #SupportingOthers
