Jonathan Alder is more than just a school district — it's a FAMILY.
In recent days, several of our families have faced incredibly difficult circumstances. In moments like these, let’s surround one another with care, compassion, and the comforting strength of our community.

All smiles as our #alderFAMILY welcomed Chris Nikic to the district on November 26th! Chris is the first person with Down syndrome and the first Special Olympics athlete to complete the 140+ mile Ironman. He spoke to CMS, JAJHS and JAHS students about his journey and the 1% Better Habit.
Special thank you to the Jonathan Alder Education Foundation for making this event possible!








In collaboration with the Jonathan Alder Education Foundation, we are excited to bring Chris Nikic to Jonathan Alder!
