Justice HS: Save the Dates

A Note from Principal Gros

While my new job begins on Monday, I will also be the Acting Principal at Justice High School until a new principal is appointed.  There is much to be done and I am excited to continue leading the work to ensure a fantastic 2018-19 school year.

It has been busier than ever as we transition to Justice High School on Monday, July 2nd.  A number of facility changes have already been completed and there are many more in progress.  I've included a few photos in case you aren't a Twitter user.  We are gearing up to host the Credit Recovery Academy for the 3rd straight year under the leadership of Summer School Principal, Lindsey Wilson, who is also an AP at Justice during the school year.  We will welcome students to our campus on Monday, July 9th. 

Our HVAC system that serves the auditorium is in the process of being replaced which is great news for the many concerts, events, and productions to come in the 2018-19 school year.  We are also hiring staff for the coming year and I will definitely send out another communication soon to introduce you to some new faces who will be in leadership positions at Justice.

I hope your summer is off to a great start.  Happy 4th of July!
