Contact UsRhonda Russell, Principal
From the Principal..... We have had a very successful school year at Jena Junior High, and I know everyone is looking forward to Summer. I want to take this time to thank our students, faculty, and staff for making this year at JJHS unforgettable. I also want to thank our parents and community for their involvement with our school. During the next few weeks, it is important that we have current contact information for all of our students. If your address or phone number has changed, please make sure we have your updated information. As we receive state testing scores, we will be contacting parents/students about scores and Summer school remediation. Each student also needs to bring a self-addressed 8 1/2" by 11" envelope with three stamps attached to his/her homeroom teacher in order to receive test scores, report cards, and other important information. Good luck to our 8th graders at JHS next year, and welcome to the incoming 6th graders! I hope each of you has a fun and safe Summer! Sincerely, Rhonda Russell, Principal MottoGIANT PRIDE P - Preparedness Faculty & Staff
