Today, we are celebrating the heartbeat of our Johnston City Schools. From managing the chaos with a smile to being the first friendly face our families see, our Secretaries and Parent Liaisons do it all. They are the ultimate problem-solvers, schedule-masters, and snack-finders.
Join us in saying a huge THANK YOU to our amazing team! We truly couldn't do this without you.

Exciting times at Lincoln and Jefferson Elementary! Master Sergeant Dustin Lawrence is home after a 202-day deployment. We couldn't be happier for Dallas, Deakan, and their family. Thank you for your service, Master Sergeant Lawrence!

After a morning of hard work and deep focus for state testing, there’s no better way to decompress than sunshine and some good old-fashioned playground time. Even our teachers couldn’t resist getting in on the fun today!
We are so proud of how hard our students are working, and we love seeing these moments where everyone can just be a kid for a while.
