💡 Did you know? JCS high schools offer students the chance to get a head start on college through dual credit courses!

Dual credit lets students:
✅ Earn college credit while in high school
✅ Save money on tuition later
✅ Build confidence for success after graduation

These EJHS history students are exploring the lifestyle and social structure of the American Colonies and using reflection activities to explore further. Deeper learning is a win-win for now AND later, preparing for college, career, and life.

Shoutout to these FFA students for going above and beyond for the "Nailed It" event! Students whose schedules don’t normally allow for time in the wood shop stayed after school to learn new skills and work together to build picnic tables to be donated to our community. 💙
Hands-on skills, teamwork, and giving back — that’s what it’s all about and we're so proud of them!
