SJHS Community,
We want to share an update regarding our math department. As we prepare for the start of the school year, Mrs. Angela Kelley has made the difficult decision to resign from her position at SJHS. While we are sad to see her go and grateful for the time she spent with our students, we wish her the very best in her next chapter.
As we move forward, our priority is to find a highly qualified, exceptional math educator who is the best fit for our students, our school culture, and our community. We will not rush to simply fill the opening—we will take the time needed to hire the best candidate for SJHS.
We realize that school is starting in the next two weeks, and we may not have ample time to find a suitable candidate before the first day of school. Rest assured, our students will be well supported in the meantime. We are fortunate to have experienced educators stepping in to ensure a smooth start to the year:
* Assistant Principal David Bradshaw, former SJHS math teacher, will teach Geometry.
* Brian Willis, SJHS Math Department Chair, will support one section of Financial Literacy.
* Jim Anway, former middle school principal and current SJHS Intervention Specialist, will also teach one section of Financial Literacy.
Our team is ready, our students will be well taken care of, and we are confident in the strength of our faculty during this transition.
If you know of an outstanding math teacher who would be a great addition to SJHS, please encourage them to apply. We appreciate your support as we work to bring in the very best for our students. Online Applications: https://sjsd1.schoolspring.com/
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mo
Principal

Attention ALL High School Athletes:
FOR THE 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR, a new AIA requirement requires each athlete to take a course on "Hazing Prevention." This is an addition to the "Brainbook" and "Opioid education" courses that all athletes have already completed. If you are a returning SJHS athlete, you only need to take the "Hazing Prevention" course. All NEW SJHS athletes must do all 3 courses (Brainbook, Opiod Education, Hazing Prevention). Please be sure to do this before turning all athletic paperwork in. Click the link for the courses.
