🩺⚡ Student Voice Matters at JTown!
Our Health Science Academy Student Council is putting student leadership into action! These dedicated Chargers are working hard to share ideas, advocate for their peers, and help shape an academy where every student feels heard, supported, and connected.
We believe the best way to build a strong academy is to give students a seat at the table and a voice in the decisions that impact their experiences.
When students have a voice, they have the power to make a difference! 🩵🤍

Using their knowledge of macromolecules, students analyzed the victim’s stomach contents to identify which molecules were present and use the evidence to narrow down their suspects.
Science, critical thinking, and a little mystery—just another day of hands-on learning at JTown! 🩵⚡

👀 Keep an eye out for the #7. ⚡
If you see this sticker around JTown, know that it represents so much more than a number.
#7 is for Marty Lowe — an amazing teacher, colleague, coach, mentor, and friend whose kindness, dedication, and love for our students left an unforgettable mark on our school community.
We may not get to see him walking our halls or cheering from the sidelines, but little reminders like this help keep his memory close. Every #7 is a reminder of the lives he touched, the lessons he taught, and the legacy he left behind.
Always a Charger. Always #7. Always remembered. 🩵⚡
