JCHS Panther Baseball is hosting a Youth Winter Hitting Clinic on December 17, 2022! The camp will be broken down into two sessions based on age. However, due to any possible schedule conflicts with REC basketball games, we can allow for times that work best with schedules. The camp will be hosted by JCHS Varsity coaches, JCHS high school baseball players, and former JCHS players playing at the collegiate level.  CLICK HERE for more information!

Students in Mrs. Krause’s class worked on technical writing by creating step-by-step directions to build a parachute. Then they had to create the parachute with a limited amount of supplies to see if their directions were sufficient.

Students In Mrs. Tuthill's class used their knowledge of Newton's 3 Laws of Motion to build a Millennium Falcon spacecraft that would protect the crew members aboard during a crash.  The spacecraft was dropped from 3 different heights and students would have to alter the designs of their spacecraft to keep the marshmallows (crew members) safe inside the cockpit (cup).
