J Z George is a great school. It is very friendly and the teachers are great. They offer various activities so everyone would have something to participate in. Their teaching methods are very helpful and hands on. The principal is a very sweet and loving lady. She helps whenever she can and sees fit. Overall, I would recommend student attend J Z George High School. It's small but full of loving people.

I just want to say that our school needs to get more involved with the See you at the pole! Olivia, my niece was the only one that showed up this morning! I am Soooo Proud of her. But what does that say about our school. If you want to see a change in the school to the better, do more for God. Pray....
