Advice from JCCS Alumni
"These will be the best and easiest times of your life. Try to enjoy them. I know things seem tough at times, but it will prepare you for becoming an adult."

"High school is such a memorable era in your life. This is the time where you may find your best friends, discover your passions and interests, and begin to build the foundation of personal and professional goals. However, high school comes with many challenges. Making and maintaining friends, balancing school work and extracurriculars, while also trying to be the best person you can be! Coming from someone who kept himself busy, stayed on top of school work, and maintained a mentally, physically, and socially healthy lifestyle, please take these words of wisdom as my advice."
-Michael Curtis C/O '21
"Enjoy the moments you have now while you are in high school. Once you leave, you never get them back. These memories will last a lifetime. The real world is not as fun as everyone says it is. Enjoy the NOW! "
-Jarrod Fabacher C/O '05
"I would say that nothing will truly prepare you for college. Stay open minded to new things and always think out what you do. Learn how to cook early and save your money because there will always be times when you need it for something important. Try your best to stay in touch with your family because they will guide you through the craziness. Also, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Homework is really important and will save your life when you have a really hard class. Be open to making friends because if they have the same classes as you it’ll help so much. These will be the best years of your life enjoy every minute."
-Danielle Taix C/O '21
All your lives you’ve heard about time management and procrastination, right? Well now it’s time you put what you have learned into action. I know that finishing your work on time is hard, but just do it! School is hard for me because I get tired of doing work, but my push for motivation comes from being able to graduate and leave. Just keep pushing yourself because it will be worth it in the end. Remember to be confident. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do anything, and don’t doubt yourself. This is only the beginning, and you will learn so much about yourself as time goes on. It’s okay to change because you WILL change, trust me. Have fun and enjoy life because you only live once! Like Future once said, "Take my advice. Live a better life".
