School may not be in session but the love we have for our counselors is always in season! Today we are recognizing Ms. Long for National School Counseling Week. Let's see what our Jaguars have to share about her! "Ms. Long consistently goes the extra mile to ensure every student feels cared for and supported. She holds high expectations and encourages students to rise to them in all that they do. It is not uncommon to see Ms. Long advocating for students on a daily basis, helping them grow, feel valued, and truly supported." -EJHS Administrator "Ms. Long effortlessly connects with students from all walks of life, using her expertise, relatable personality, and engaging sense of humor to crack even the hardest walls and connect with students in ways others cannot. She builds trust and empowers students to grow and positively modify their behaviors, all while tirelessly creating a safe, supportive environment where students feel cared for, advocated for, and valued. She is a true friend, an invaluable mentor, and a joy to work alongside! We could not imagine our team without her." -EJHS Colleague

Senior Night for Wrestling tonight! Match at Warner Elm. Senior Night Festivities begin at 6pm!

For National School Counseling Week, today we’re celebrating Tammy Baker, our registrar. Her expertise, care, and dedication keep our counseling office running smoothly and our Jaguars supported every day. Let's see what other Jaguars have to share about Ms. Baker!

"Tammy Baker is truly the glue that holds our counseling office together. She is a master at ensuring every detail is in place for our students during enrollment, while also being a steady, comforting presence for students who stop by to meet with a counselor. We are incredibly thankful for her dedication to EJHS."
-EJHS Administrator

"Ms. Baker brings an incredible depth of experience to our counseling office. Her knowledge of all things counseling is unmatched, and our counselors rely on her daily for her expertise, organization, and management of the office. She keeps everything running smoothly, often behind the scenes, in ways that truly impact students’ success. What sets Ms. Baker apart, though, is who she is as a person. She is genuine, authentic, and deeply caring, and she connects with our students in a way that is both natural and meaningful. Students trust her, feel seen by her, and know they are supported the moment they walk through our doors. Her presence is a gift to our school, and her impact on EJHS is felt far beyond her role."
-EJHS Colleague

Road conditions are still unsafe due to lingering ice and snow, so we’ll remain closed tomorrow. After more than a week away, cabin fever is setting in and the winter isolation is feeling very familiar. Stay warm, stay safe, Jaguars—we’ll be back together as soon as the roads are ready.

Join us on Tuesday February 10th to celebrate Miles as he signs his commitment letter to further his academic and athletic career at Midway University! The signing will take place in the EJHS Media Center at 6:30 PM. Congratulations Miles!

Congratulations to Alo, one of our students of the month! Alo truly represents the Responsibility pillar of the JCS Graduate Profile.

This month, we are proud to recognize Beckett for exemplifying the Work Ethic pillar of the JCS Graduate Profile. Beckett approaches her learning with focus, determination, and a strong sense of purpose. She consistently puts in the effort, pushes herself to improve, and takes pride in her progress.

Congratulations, Beckett! Your dedication and perseverance do not go unnoticed!

We are incredibly proud of Brilie, who sang the National Anthem at the Wreaths Across America ceremony at Camp Nelson. Through her participation, Brilie exemplified what it means to be a Connected Citizen, using her voice and talents to honor our nation’s veterans and reflect on the sacrifices made for our freedoms.

Thank you, Brilie, for representing our community with respect, gratitude, and heart.
