Our goal is simple: 100 alumni giving $100 to support the JHS Centennial Scholarship Fund. Every contribution will help provide scholarships to JHS/JPHS students, which will be awarded at the Ambassador Dinner.

Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, this is an opportunity to honor the school, the people, and the experiences that helped shape generations of Vikings.

We are so excited to announce that Calvena Mahoney was chosen by audition to perform in the ensemble with Sutton Foster (the famous Broadway actress) at the Wharton Center on October 3rd.

40 total students were selected from the entire state to be a part of this ensemble. We are so incredibly proud of Calvena and excited for her to have this amazing opportunity.

Calvena has been a member of the JHS choirs since her freshman year and has earned frequent honors for her singing. She has earned top marks at music theater solo and ensemble and classical solo and ensemble every year and was selected for last year's All-State Jazz honors choir.

Hispanic Heritage Spotlight: Dr. Ellen Ochoa 🚀

Today, we’re celebrating a trailblazer in science, engineering, and space exploration!

In 1993, Dr. Ellen Ochoa became the first Hispanic woman to travel to space when she flew aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.

Before becoming an astronaut, Dr. Ochoa was an engineer and researcher. She later went on to become the first Hispanic director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, helping lead one of the nation’s most important centers for human spaceflight.

Her story is a powerful example of where curiosity, education, perseverance, and big dreams can lead.

✨ During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate people like Dr. Ochoa whose achievements continue to inspire future generations.

They will join 96 other students from around the state who were accepted to participate in this opportunity. These students will work with music theater professionals and participate in clinics, they will also have the opportunity to compete to perform as a soloist.

We are so proud of JHS choir students, Oscar Curtis, Adein Kelley, Calvena Mahoney, Mason Valdivia.

From JHS Choir teacher, Mr. YuhaszPratt:

“These students were so nervous and emailed back and forth with me many times with their audition videos as we worked on improving all the minor details. It was such a pleasure to get to call them to inform them of their success, they were all so excited! I am SO PROUD of these students.”
