Hello Justice HS Students, Families, and Community Members:
We're thrilled to share that the start of the third quarter has been nothing short of exciting, thanks to an engaging Staff Spirit Week! The enthusiasm from our dedicated staff has set a positive tone for the remainder of the school year.
Looking ahead, we're excited to celebrate our incredible counseling staff during National School Counselors Week. The 2024 theme, "School Counseling: Standards-Based, Student-Focused," highlights their unwavering commitment to excellence. We invite everyone to join in the festivities and show appreciation for our outstanding counseling team throughout the upcoming week.
In other delightful news, the groundhog did not see his shadow, signaling an early spring! Let's embrace the season with optimism and warmth.
Wishing you all a fantastic and safe weekend.
