Our 8th-grade Advanced Math students are diving deep into the world of functions using graphing calculators!
Students are discovering how equations come to life as they graph functions, seeing math in action right before their eyes.
Hands-on learning like this helps build a strong foundation for future math success and fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Learning probability is anything but ordinary in Mrs. McCluskie’s Math Lab at Washington Middle School!
Students explored probability stations using everyday math items to see how chance and outcomes work in real life. Hands-on learning makes math come alive.

History came to life for our 6th graders during their field trip to the Fort Massac Encampment!
Students stepped back in time to experience what daily life was like in the 1700s and 1800s for American, French, and British troops as well as Native Americans. They explored hands-on demonstrations like blacksmithing, basket weaving, and hide tanning, discovering the essential skills people once relied on to survive.
A big thank you to the reenactors and organizers who made this living history experience unforgettable for our students!

Our high school FFA recently presented to Mrs. Williford’s 7th and 8th grade PACE classes at Washington Middle School.
This is a great example of our JCHS students inspiring our middle school students, sharing their passion for agriculture, leadership, and hands-on learning with younger students.
We love seeing our older students step up as mentors and role models!
