Article: SJHS alumni: what that’s a thing?

When you are a student here at sjhs. You can’t wait to be in high school you are so done with Jr. High. High school should be way better than Jr. High. You can’t wait to be done with seven periods. If all of this is true then why would anyone want to come back to it? Well actually most teachers didn’t plan on teaching here. Even when they were planning on being a teacher most of them never imagined they would come here!

When the teachers went to school it was not as modern as it is now. It was way different. For example there were no chromebooks, less people, and a had to take typing class. Also they were in the old jr. high building. That’s a little different. Especially since our school depends on chromebooks and other electronics!

Back then Jr. High was only ninth and eighth. Which means there was a middle school! A lot of the teachers when they were students they were used to all of that! How weird is that!

Mrs. Bales went to SJHS in 1968! That was 49 YEARS ago. Mr. Jensen went to SJHS 1993-1995! Also Mr. Jensen had Mr. Rencher as a teacher. So has a lot of students at SJHS! Who would think that you would have the same teacher that Mr. Jensen had! Ms. Allred went just for eighth grade which was 2005-2006. Ms. Allred taught one of her sisters too! Except she didn’t tell her class till the last day of school! Ms. Allred said “When she finally told them that we were sister, no one believed it.”

There are a lot of cool things about are teachers but, knowing that they went to the same school as you are. That can make you think. Imagine teaching here when you’re older it’s totally possible! Like Mrs. Bales who said “Not in a million years! I was a naughty student” when asked if she ever thought she would teach here! All of these teachers share one thing in common with you. That’s awesome!
