JCHS Student Drivers: January is Teen Driving Awareness Month.  Please be reminded of the importance of driving safely as you travel to and from JCHS each day.  Your safety and the safety of others are of utmost importance and it is vital that each of you give your full attention and drive with caution to and from campus.  On days when the weather or traffic is not ideal, such as a day with rain, snow, or road backups, we ask that you take even greater precautions and drive with patience, attention, and care as you travel to and from campus. Also, please remember to wear your seatbelt.
