These JHS students have qualified as national finalists in FFA National Agriscience Fair. They entered the FFA Agriscience fair, in March, at the State Convention.
These students worked hard to conduct a research project of their choice, write a research paper, make a display, and go through an interview process. As a result of placing first in their category at the State Level, they were able to submit their research paper to the National FFA Agriscience Fair. The top ten papers were selected from all entries throughout the country. These individuals have the opportunity to win a gold or silver award as a result of their interview that is to take place in September; the remaining entries will receive a Bronze award.
Congratulations to these individuals on such a prestigious accomplishment!
Jonesville High School is proud to introduce Mrs. Kirby Berger as one of its newest staff members. Please help us in providing her a Comet welcome!
Get to know a little bit about Mrs. Berger:
"My name is Mrs. Kirby Berger; I am the high school's newest math teacher. I graduated from JHS in 2012 and earned my teaching degree at Central Michigan University-Fire Up Chips! I have spent the past four years teaching math at a neighboring school where I also discovered my passion for coaching. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing volleyball, and kayaking; however, my favorite thing to do is spend a night at home with my husband, daughter, and our two dogs. I am so excited to be back home and am looking forward to a great year! Go Comets!"

"This will be my 8th year of teaching. I have experience in all grade levels but I am happy to be returning to the high school grade level! I also look forward to giving back to the community as a Jonesville Alumna. Outside of work, my husband and I enjoy traveling and off-roading. We have two dogs that get included in many of our activities. I enjoy photography and I'm currently challenging myself to a 365 day project."

Comet PRIDE!
Jonesville Community,
In cooperation with the Jonesville City Council, Jonesville Community Schools will be swapping a portion of existing land between our maintenance garage and Sunset View Cemetery with land owned by the city south of the cemetery. The City of Jonesville approached Jonesville Community Schools about a need for cemetery expansion and wondered if we could partner with the city and community. This will allow the city and community to have a more suitable area for future expansion for the final resting place of our loved ones.
City Manager Jeff Gray and I would like to thank the Jonesville City Council and Jonesville School board for being so agreeable to this and making the process that much easier to the benefit of the entire community.
Sincerely,
Erik Weatherwax Jeff Gray
Superintendent, Jonesville Community Schools Jonesville City
Manager

We hope that this is something that you find helpful! We would like to thank the Jonesville Community food service department for making this possible. Go Comets!
JCS would like to thank Jonesville Lumber and Louie Morris for their donation to improve our crossing. I know the school and community appreciate it! I would also like to thank John Taipalus and his industrial arts students for building our new entry to our ballfields. It looks much better! Go Comets!
Jonesville Mission will be giving away food boxes tomorrow, Friday at the Carl Fast Park beginning at 4:00 pm. All community members welcome!
Comet families! We have great news for our elementary students for the 2022/23 school year! We will be picking up elementary students at select stops south of 12. We know for some families this was a barrier and hope this helps you out.
I know it's not even July, but we continue to enroll students for the upcoming school year. Get your slot as soon as possible! I Hope you are all enjoying your summer and go Comets!
Good morning Comet families, staff, students, and community members. Last night, the JCS school board voted unanimously to move our athletics to the Cascades Conference beginning the 2023/24 school year.
This was not an easy decision given the history that JCS has had with the Big 8 but it is the right one for our students. It provides them more athletic opportunities, including JV. This will be especially true for our lady Comets. It will allow our bowling team a shot at winning a league championship. It will provide our football team points to be eligible for the postseason. There are some challenges but they are not insurmountable. The average distance to a Big 8 school is 21.1 miles. The average distance to a Cascade Conference school is 29.6 miles. We think the benefits outweigh the distance.
We are excited to provide this new opportunity to our Comet athletes and we look forward to what the future will bring. Go Comets!
