Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

Members of the SJHS student body were greeted by a surprise from the HOPE Squad when they arrived at school on Tuesday, March 18.

The SJHS HOPE Squad wrote hundreds of kind messages on post-it notes and stuck them on every locker and all around the school building. They arrived extra early to school so that when students arrived they would find messages waiting for them. 

The HOPE Squad worked on this secret project for many weeks. They wanted to surprise students and let every student know that they were special and loved.

Honors Classes at SJHS

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

Aside from the regular classes, SJHS has advanced classes called honors classes. They have honors math, english, and biology at SJHS. Honors classes are for students who are willing to go at a faster pace and work hard. To get into Honors Biology, taught by Mr. Hatfield, you have to be one year ahead in math, and have a desire to learn more about biology. “We go into a lot more detail and cover a lot more content,” said Mr. Hatfield. According to Mr. Hatfield, he likes teaching honors classes because he can challenge students more.
