The JCH Hot Rod club had a popular entry in the Homecoming parade.
Another Homecoming Week is in the books. Congratulations to our Homecoming king and queen, Jeffrey Howerton and Staisha Murdock.
Congratulations to our Powder Puff and Macho Volleyball winners from last night! Our junior girls pulled off the upset and beat the undefeated senior girls, ending their 3 year run as champions. The freshman boys surprised everyone and dominated Macho Volleyball. In unsurprising news, the JCHS men's alumni team remained unbeaten all-time, beating the freshman class.

Earth & Space science performing a Chemical Weathering Lab as they are about to go into their cave projects. Which types of rocks react to Hydrochloric Acid? What is the pH of Hydrochloric Acid?
It's getting close to Homecoming time! The 7th grade class is busy getting ready. Come see what their theme is at the parade.
Students did a fantastic job with the Carbon Snake Lab. This lab uses an acid and the reaction can produce a temperature over 300 degrees.
As Photography students finished up their History unit, they had the chance to tour the old Courthouse Museum in Holbrook, where they could photograph artifacts and explore the camera display, seeing cameras from 1935 and even older.
Some Photography and Art students also earned the opportunity to attend the Navajo County fair and practice their live sketch skills for art, as well as practice composition skills as it relates to photography.
The football game at El Capitan is at 6 pm Arizona time.
In an upcoming unit, our Jr/Sr English classes will do a mock career fair. Students will get the opportunity to role-play as the hiring manager and the job seeker. They will create a cover letter, resume, and a thank you letter to bring to the mock interview. This is an image of the advertisement for this mock career fair that was posted in our classroom today.
Monday our Jr/Sr English classes started their class presentations for our Grendel project from Unit 1. After reading Beowulf and selections from John Gardner's Grendel, students researched a monster of their choice and compared and contrasted the two monsters. They will also be writing a short fictional narrative based on either Grendel or their researched monster. At the end of the school year, their work will be part of the Show What You Know program!
Chemistry is everywhere!

Regarding Parent Pick-up on the West side of the JCES playground : We need to separate the pick-up area and the school buses. Please don't wait South of the fire hydrant. Go to the front of the line and park by the swings and the field. Students will be able to walk on the sidewalk to your car. If you park on the West side of Bushman Ave., we ask that you come to the gate and escort your child across the street. Nevertheless, a staff member will escort your child to you if you are unable. Please watch carefully for the students as you drive on Bushman Ave. Thank you.
