A Message from Mr. Harris
East Jackson Middle School Community,
I am thrilled to join you as the new principal for the upcoming school year. As we embark on this exciting journey together, I want to emphasize the power of new beginnings in fostering opportunities for growth and success.
Our school theme this year is “One East,” and it encompasses the belief that we are all significant in the success of educating our students. EJMS is not just a place of learning; it is a community where every member plays a crucial role. I believe that a strong partnership between the school and our community is essential to support and uplift our students. Your involvement and support are invaluable in creating an environment where each student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
I am excited to meet each and every one of you and to embark on this wonderful journey of learning and growth. Together, we will pave the way for a successful year at EJMS.
Sincerely,
Johnathan Harris
