Character Education
JDS has a shared belief that all students are entitled to a school environment that supports their intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs. Developing positive character traits is essential to a student's growth. JDS focuses on the universal values of Respect, Accountability, Integrity, Service, and Excellence. Teaching these values in high school improves student achievement, reduces behavior incidents, increases compassion and empathy, and improves overall school climate and culture. JDS incorporates character education in classroom lessons and activities and through group assemblies.

​​
JDS offers many opportunities for students and families to unwind together and build a community outside the classroom. The Fall Festival, Valentine's Day Dance, and Field Day are student favorites. We gather for Veteran's Day programs, STEAM nights, Spirit Nights, numerous Arts Showcases, and holiday programs. Students can join a fee-based after-school club, a competitive dance or cheer team, or participate in middle school athletics, or the marching band. Participation in various social events, programs, and athletics improves student productivity, builds relationships, develops empathy, and teaches students critical relationship-building skills. ​
