I think that it is a pretty cool school. The culture is like no other. Almost everyone has a lot of pride in this school, whether it is sports, clubs, and even academics.

During my time at The GREAT Jones High School, it was wonderful. It a historically black school so I was surrounded by people that looks like me. Jones had a lot of different cultures and backgrounds but they made sure they had everyone involved and no one left out. I was always rewarded for my great academic achievements and pushed to be better. The teachers were a little hard on me but for the right reason. I am an early graduate and my experience was very fun and great.

Jones High School is not just a school, it is a family. At the great Jones High School, you are exposed to new people that is willing to help you succeed. Over the 4 years of attending Jones High, I found myself and learned to stay true to myself. If I was able to redo those 4 years and apply what I learned, I would.

Admin's and Safety's failure to act responsibly enables dangerous activity on site and turn a blind eye. Admi...
