Jonathan Alder Junior High School

“Smiles, backpacks, laughter — that’s how we connect. 📚”

These JAJHS teachers (and some questionable hairstyles) shared their “If I knew then what I know now” wisdom about their junior high years. We had a great first week around JAJHS!#BetterEveryDay

After hearing from JAHS students about the impact of Agricultural Education & FFA, our district leaders toured the Madison County Fair on July 7th!

They met amazing Alder students who shared their fair roles — from animal care to leadership duties. So proud of their dedication and hard work!

Thanks to everyone who made the visit meaningful.
