JHS Happenings in June

As the last week of June ends, it is of value to look back at the recent JHS graduating class of 2017 and thank all of them for their contributions to the school and community. The last week of May brought the graduation ceremony for the Jefferson High School Class of 2016. As I participated in the commencement ceremony, it was rewarding to see the amount of support in the audience by parents, grandparents, friends, and others. The gratefulness displayed by all present and all the communities that encompass the high school is overwhelming. 

This continued support is a key factor in the success of all students. There will be a couple of new faces for next year at JHS. Brittani Bergtoll will be joining JHS as a new English teacher, and Sarah Layng is returning to education as the Librarian. I am excited for what they bring to enhance the JHS staff and the students. I am currently working on filling the FCS position for next year. 

Although the information has been posted in past editions, I want to again congratulate spring sports participants on their successes. Members of the JHS boys and girls track teams participated at the state Class B meet in Butte and had a couple of state placers. Congrats also go out to all tennis and golf participants in representing JHS as student-athletes.
