Welcome to

We strive to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s world.  We seek to accomplish this through the belief that education goes beyond textbooks and classrooms.  It is about fostering creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth. 

JCMS has a dedicated team of educators committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where every student can thrive.  We recognize and celebrate the unique talents and abilities of each student, seeking to nurture their passions and interests throughout their time with us. 

At JCMS, you will find a wide range of academic programs designed to challenge and inspire your student.  From STEM to the Arts, we offer a diverse range of opportunities for exploration and self-discovery.  Beyond academics, we believe in the holistic development of our students.  JCMS students following the guidelines for success of PRIDE- Purposeful, Respectful, Inclusive, Dynamic and Engaged.  Following these guidelines in their day to day actions helps to develop students who are active in our community, serve in leadership roles, work collaboratively with their peers, and show empathy to one another.  In addition, our comprehensive extracurricular activities provide avenues for students to pursue their passions, discover new interests and develop lifelong friendships. 

Communication and collaboration are a priority at Junction City Middle School.  We value the partnership between our school, parents, and the community.  Together, we create a strong support system that empowers students to achieve their goals and dreams.
