History
JBHS opened in August 2004 with an enrollment of 1100 students in grades 9 through 11. A senior class was added the following year. It was an open choice school for several years but only accepted local students for some time. Starting in 2021 they made the change to become open choice again.
The 270,000 square feet (25,000 m2) building complex is spread over 100 acres (0.40 km2), which includes 17 acres (69,000 m2) of mitigated wetlands.
During the summer of 2013, the original principal, Ginger Featherstone, was promoted to the district position of Director of Secondary, Adult, and Community Vocational Programs.[2] In the summer of 2015, the second principal, Greg Laws, retired citing personal health reasons.[3] The current principal is Lori Vogel.[4]
