Jonesville High School

Comet families! As you know, students are required to wear masks on school buses as they are deemed public transportation. We have been providing masks for our students who have forgotten their’s but it really should be in case of an emergency. In the last two weeks, we have gone through over a thousand masks which is more than we did since the beginning of the school year. Please make sure your student has a mask so we are only handing them out in case of emergencies. Thank you

Jonesville is now paying substitute teachers $100 a day! We are in need of guest teachers at all grade levels. Come be a part of Comet pride!

Congratulations to Jonesville FFA members Shannon Rossman and Alice Hughes!!! These two young ladies took First Place in the National FFA Agriscience competition for their research project on bacteria buildup on needles that were used to vaccinate swine. Shannon and Alice started working on this project back in 2018. After making some adjustment to their research after a 3rd place finish last year they were able to earn the top award for their efforts. This is a great accomplishment and the first time that any Jonesville FFA member was able to win a first place at the national convention.
