Principal Spotlight: Meet Cari ✨

Cari has spent more than 28 years in education, including 14 years with JCS, and one of the things she values most is getting to watch students grow in a program that gives families the flexibility to do school a little differently.

From innovation in the classroom to the strong sense of community on campus, there’s a lot that makes Mountain Oaks special.

A few things you may not know about her:
🏡 Hometown: Camarillo, CA
✈️ She has traveled to 30 countries and counting!

We’re lucky to have you, Cari! 💛

Even though school is out for the summer, we're still celebrating some incredible accomplishments! ☀️🎓

First up: our 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony.

At JCS MO, promotion is more than a ceremony—it's a celebration of learning, growth, leadership, and perseverance. Each scholar takes the stage to share their unique JCS MO journey, reflecting on the experiences, challenges, achievements, and memories that have shaped who they are today.

Their presentations are thoughtful, inspiring, and a true testament to the confidence and voice they have developed throughout their years with us.

Enjoy these highlights as we celebrate the Class of 2026 and all they have accomplished! 🌟💙
