The hammer shown in the picture may look like a typical hammer, but it can do much more. In education, we may appear to be merely teaching our students content. In actuality, we are teaching our students much more than reading, writing and arithmetic. We are preparing our students for jobs that might not currently exist. Our students will leave JHS with all of the tools necessary to be happy and productive citizens.
This year, teachers and staff at JHS were invited to participate in a book study. The book selected for study was The Hard Hat by Jon Gordon. The Hard Hat is an unforgettable true story about a selfless, loyal, joyful, hard-working, competitive, and compassionate leader and teammate, the impact he had on his team and program, and the lessons we can learn from him.
In the book, a college lacrosse hockey team wanted their culture and program to be defined by toughness, selflessness, and hard work. Hard hats are usually worn by construction workers. The lacrosse team decided to use a hard hat to symbolize the blue-collar work ethic they wanted their program and teams to possess.
Our staff set out to think of an item we could use to symbolize the type of climate and culture we want our school to have. We chose a tool belt because a tool belt holds many different tools that we can use to help guide, mentor and mold our students into graduates who become productive citizens.

🎓 Semester Finals Underway at Julesburg High School! 📚
It's that time of year again—finals week! Students at Julesburg High School are diving into comprehensive semester finals this morning, testing their knowledge across the full range of subjects they've covered since the beginning of the school year. Each test lasts for one hour, with an optional 15-minute extension if needed.
It's a busy week for our students, who are juggling finals with holiday tournaments, concerts, and a variety of extracurricular activities.

Best of luck to all our students as they wrap up their semester with hard work and dedication! 📖✨

Happy Holidays! Family Consumer Science students had a festive time making sugar cookies and gingerbread creations. Students cut out templates, made their gingerbread dough, glued and decorated their creations. We had unique displays of a mansion, sleigh, jeep, cabin and various houses. It was a fun way to learn!
What a treat for our 6th-grade math class! Sophomore Noah joined us as a guest teacher and did an incredible job leading the lesson. The 6th graders were engaged and inspired, and Noah showed amazing teaching skills and enthusiasm for math.

Our 6th graders are diving into a novel study of Holes this week! 📚 They’re exploring the story’s themes, characters, and connections while developing critical thinking skills. To wrap it all up, we’ll end the week by watching the movie adaptation and making comparisons between the book and the film.
It’s always exciting to see students engage with literature in such a fun and meaningful way!

Today, our kindergarten classroom engaged in a fun and interactive game of Before and After to reinforce their understanding of teen numbers. This hands-on approach not only helps students grasp mathematical concepts but also fosters collaboration and communication skills.
