Thank you to all who participated in the Kid's Heart Challenge! Because of you we have spread awareness for healthy hearts and raised nearly $2000 for the American Heart Association.

The blocked sewage line at JMHS has been fixed. We would like to thank our dedicated Maintenance Department for their efforts today!

Healthy Students Newsletter




There is a partial sewage line blockage at JMHS. It affects 1 restroom and out of caution we are sending students to MCTC to use the restroom. There are many rumors circulating that are completely inaccurate. The issue does not affect MCTC, lunches have been served, and maintenance is working to unclog the line.
