Yearbook Update – Class of 2026 📸🎓
All spring sports, the band concert, the spring choir concert, and graduation will be covered in this year’s yearbook — they’ll appear in a free, high-quality printed insert delivered in June for anyone who purchases a book.
The main yearbook will still capture the full senior year in a more efficient layout, allowing us to keep the price affordable and deliver it before graduation. Our student media team is working hard to tell the complete story of the Class of 2026 while keeping it accessible for the entire JAG Family.
Go G-Men! 🖤💛

🎶✨ Kindergarten Sing-Along Brings the House Down! ✨🎶
Last night, our gym was packed with proud families and filled with music as our Kindergarten students stole the show during their Sing-Along under the direction of Mr. Logan.
From classics like The Wheels on the Bus and B-I-N-G-O to Mr. Logan’s personal favorite, Five Green and Speckled Frogs, the kids sang their hearts out! Even better — several songs had the whole crowd joining in, proving once again that “A community that sings together stays together!”
What a wonderful evening celebrating music, smiles, and togetherness. Great job, Kindergarten! 💛🖤 #JAGPride #KindergartenSingAlong #CommunityThroughMusic
