JMS Faculty and staff laughed and cried as we recognized colleagues who are making career or life changes.
First, we'd like to thank Mrs. Fran Altringer for being our interim principal. Ms. Mixon and Ms. McMillian are changing schools/districts. Ms. Jacobs is retiring. Ms. Dooley is retiring, but not for good. She will return next school year. Ms. McKie will be moving from student information clerk to a JMS classroom teacher!

Wishing all of our staff and students a safe, fun, and relaxing summer break!

Graduation week is here, and we can’t wait to celebrate the Class of 2026 at their commencement ceremonies being held at USC Aiken's Convocation Center!

To help graduation attendees enjoy a smooth, stress-free day, please remember that there will be metal detection upon arrival. We kindly ask that you review the attached graphic for prohibited items, such as bags, balloons, and outside food, so you can leave those items safely in your vehicle before heading to the entrance.

Additionally, because the lobby can become crowded after the ceremony, please plan to meet your graduate outside the venue once the event concludes.

Thank you so much for your help in keeping this milestone safe, smooth, and unforgettable for everyone!

Upcoming Graduation dates and times are below for your convenience. Tickets are limited due to space, but we invite everyone to cheer on the Class of 2026 virtually by accessing the live streamed ceremonies on our website at www.acpsd.net/graduation.
