Junction Hill C-12 School District

We have had a great open house and we are looking forward to seeing all of our students on Monday! Remember that the doors open at 7:25! I want to extend an invitation to all Hornet families to join the booster club! The first meeting is September 2nd at 5:30 in the library!

Here is the school supply list updated as of 8/1/25

As the 25-26 School Year begins here is our school calendar. The days highlighted in Green are NO School days - the perfect time to schedule appointments and personal plans. This helps us protect our instructional time. The Red day on December 19th is a half day and we will release at 12:30 pm. The other highlighted days are important dates throughout the year for special events.

Please pick up a copy of the calendar during our open house on Tuesday August 12th and a Hornet Magnet to keep your calendar on your fridge or anywhere you will see it. Planning ahead helps all have a better start to a great school year.

I hope everyone is having a blessed summer. Junction Hill is pleased to report that the 2024 - 2025 MAP and EOC scores have been opened up for school district administration to view. There is still a period of time before the results are confirmed, but the administration is pleased with the preliminary results. Our students and teachers are amazing and we are proud of their hard work. Individual student reports will be shared during the October 21st/23rd parent teacher conferences. If parents would like to review the results earlier, they should be able to meet with Dr. Perkins or Mrs. Sellers by appointment after the school year begins on August 18th. Enjoy the remainder of your summer and GO HORNETS!

Junction Hill has been in a multi year process of revamping our reading instruction. We have concluded an important faze. Mrs Franks, Mrs Robison, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Wade, and Mrs. Mahan, attended the CLSD conference and presented to other schools, sharing some of their hard earned expertise. We are proud of their accomplishments!
