My experience at jones in my 3 years almost 4 which will be my senior year starting in August have been great and also tough. The environment itself is mainly surrounded by the black community, but they make everyone feel welcome in the long run as well.

My best moment while attending jones high school was the football games, my math classes with Mr.curry and when we had colleges come to the school. My worst moments were when we had to go online for learning during covid and it was hard for m to comprehend what I was learning.
