Congratulations on your retirement Ms. Kupperman.
You were a JEFF supporter and we will miss you so much ❤️

We celebrate an incredible milestone as Mrs. Kupperman retires after 35 years of teaching.

Her dedication, patience, and passion for education has left a legacy that will continue long after she leaves the classroom. Mrs. Kupperman has touched so many lives, and her impact cannot be measured simply by years of service.
Congratulations on your well-earned retirement Mrs. Kupperman! May this next chapter be filled with happiness, good health, new adventures, and all the time you deserve to enjoy the things you love.

On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Jamieson proudly hosted its annual Sports Banquet to celebrate our outstanding student-athletes! 🦅

Our athletes continue to make the entire Jamieson community proud through their hard work, dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship both on and off the field.

Congratulations to Jayden and Isla, recipients of the Levi Powell Annual Sports Award! Your dedication, leadership, and athletic achievements are truly commendable. 🏅

A special thank you to Principal Paik, AP Daniel, our coaches, and staff for their unwavering support and coordination throughout the sports seasons. Your commitment to our students truly makes a difference.

GO EAGLES! 💙💛

As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, we are seeking parent volunteers to help support our athletic programs, including the Jamieson Athletic Boosters. Parent involvement plays a vital role in strengthening both our sports programs and our school community.

If you are interested in getting involved and supporting our student-athletes, we would love to hear from you!
