Good Things and Bulldog Brags

A white bulldog with a red collar holds a megaphone, announcing 'GOOD THINGS!'
At the Junior High, STAAR testing has officially wrapped up, and there is a great deal of anticipation as we look forward to seeing just how much our students have grown academically this year. The campus also took time to celebrate the incredible work of our Administrative Assistants, whose daily efforts keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. In addition, Coach Foreman continues to make a positive impact on the JJHS athletic program, doing an outstanding job supporting and guiding student-athletes.

At the High School, Mr. Williams recognized the staff—our “JHS Top Dawgs”—for their exceptional response during a recent unexpected power outage. Their calm demeanor, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to student safety were evident throughout the situation. Staff members remained flexible and patient, ensuring that all students were safe and supervised, and stayed on campus until every student had left. Their actions truly demonstrated the dedication and leadership that define Jasper High School.
These moments reflect the strength, teamwork, and commitment shared across Jasper ISD campuses.
