Greetings, JCS Families, Guidance has been working diligently to take measured steps toward the advancement of your students on a daily basis. We are meeting with students to address academic advising needs, graduation planning, college applications, and everything in between. We are delighted to share that we will be hosting two college fairs this year, one in the fall and one in the spring. We proudly proctor PSAT, ACT Aspire, Terra Nova, AP and the ACT in order to expose your students to the best and most practical testing available to ensure optimal results.
This fall, I am confident that you will be pleased to see some of the unique initiatives we are taking to proactively assist your students in achieving their future goals. As important as planning for the future is, we firmly believe in dedicating our plans to the Lord and trust Him to direct our paths. Our dedication to you is that we will continue to partner with you to fulfill the JCS mission of teaching the mind, reaching the heart and inspiring servant leaders to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
