Junction HIll has been so blessed with Mr. Dame as our music teacher for the last eight years. The love and passion he has for kids and music shows in his dedication in working with so many students over his 50 plus years of teaching music. Every time we have watched his students perform it is simply amazing to watch how well the kids sound as they sing. Mr. Dame has dedicated his career to sharing his love of music to more students than we can count. Mr. Dame's career in music is one full of many achievements and accolades. Mr. Dame taught Music at Willow Springs until he retired several years ago. We were so fortunate to be able to have him here in retirement working with our students providing first class instruction in music. We will dearly miss Mr. Dame as he steps back to retire once again.
The boil order affecting Junction Hill School has been lifted.

When students sell tickets, they will need to get the buyer’s full name, phone number, and collect the amount owed for tickets.

The Junction Hill Board of Education approved the 2024-2025 School Calendar during their regular monthly board meeting December 12th. This calendar has one notable difference from the area K-8 schools. With Junction Hill School being a polling location the Junction Hill School will be out of session on November 5th, 2024 for the 2024 Presidential Election. The last two Presidential elections have had record turnout for voters and in the interest of school security, student safety as well as preventing congestion in the parking lot during the morning drop off and afternoon pick up we have elected to be out of session that day. We will review and survey our High School students prior to November 5th to ensure any that do need transportation to attend High School on November 5th we will run a bus or buses to provide them transportation.
Friday the 15th was the Junction Hill Christmas Concert. Students in grades pk-5 and the choir sang festive music to the delight of family and friends. Mr. Dame has led students with many wonderful memories and performances over the years, and this year was no exception. At Christmas time it is good to remember how we are blessed by our students, parents, and our faculty especially our choir teacher. Thank you!
Our students were challenged to bring in food and hygiene items for the annual Junction Hill food drive and they delivered! This year we had a friendly competition and students in grades 1, 4, and 6 won. Here are pictures of the winning groups. Thanks go out to all involved in this good work.
