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.

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.
