PSSA Reviews

Parents who would like to preview confidential PSSA materials must schedule an appointment with the principal and sign a confidentiality agreement. Parents may not copy or take notes, pictures, or video while previewing the exam. If, after viewing the exam, a parent wishes to request a religious exemption, they may do so by making the request in writing, addressed to the superintendent.

National Honor Society membership is open to eligible juniors and seniors at JAHS with faculty approval. All members must demonstrate scholarship (as determined by a minimum 3.0 GPA), character, leadership, and service, and maintain those standards throughout their membership. Members are eligible for additional scholarship opportunities.
