Speech and Debate Class

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

This year students have been given many electives to choose from. Some of the teachers have had to take on extra classes so that we would have many different opportunities to learn different skills. One of these classes is the Speech and Debate class.

“I love teaching this class. It is really fun to hear what all the students have to say and see their fun personalities,” said Ms. Neeley, the Speech and Debate teacher.

The Speech and Debate class is only half a year so they have to work hard and fast. In the first term they have been working on different kinds of speeches. They have done icebreaker speeches, a narrative speech, and are working on persuasive speeches.

For most people drawing means doodling and idle pencil scratchings, but in Ms. Wallace’s drawing class, things are taken to a whole new level. Ms. Wallace, the art teacher, has been teaching at SJHS for two years and loves to draw.

Ms. Piña or Ms. Pineapple-Take Your Pick

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

This year not only did we get a new school, we also got many new teachers. Among these teachers is Ms. Piña, a seventh grade English teacher, and she is fantastic.

Different teachers have unique reasons they chose to be teachers for junior high students. Ms. Piña says, “I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher since I was in kindergarten and first attended school myself.” 

According to Ms. Piña, various experiences led her to realize she would not do well in an elementary school setting. As she went through high school she found that she loved English, so naturally she chose to become an English teacher.
