We are proud to celebrate JHS teacher Heather Miller for being named the Univeristy of Missouri's Pre-Transition Employment Services Teacher of the Year!

Congratulations, Mrs. Miller, on this well-deserved honor! We are grateful for the difference you make for students every single day.

Looking for a new Spotify playlist to add to your rotation? Check out the JHS Guitar Club!

Each week, 60–70 of our students come together to make music, build community, and just have fun doing what they love and now their talent has a home on Spotify! Their performances from SFR "26 had our entire student body on their feet, and now you can listen anytime.

We even had a few surprise guest performers, who knew Dr. Elliot Fischer could play the violin or that Mrs. Walley had such a beautiful voice?! And of course, Mr. Helle did what he does best…rocking out right alongside our students.

We are so proud of this group and the incredible energy they bring to JHS. Take a listen and support our talented musicians! 🎧
