Superintendent's Message
Dear JUHSD Community,
Season’s greetings! I hope that you are able to get some much-needed and well-deserved rest over Winter Break.
I am grateful for your partnership always, but especially this year, as we keep being thrown curveballs! Thanks to students, guardians, teachers and staff for your perseverance. You have given the first half of this school year your all and I know you'll continue to do the same for the coming spring semester of 2022.
May you enjoy your break and come back rested and reinvigorated for a fantastic new year.
Warmly,
Toni Presta
Superintendent

JHS 100th Birthday Logo Contest Winner
In late November, an open call went out to all current JHS students seeking submissions to create the official logo for the school's centennial jubilee. After six entries were submitted to the JHS Turns 100 Committee, Belinda Jimenez's design, a clean golden yellow and blue circle with the school's gym graphically placed in the background, was selected as the official logo.
From banners and signs, to shirts, mugs, school swag, publicity and more, her logo will represent this historic year for the high school. When asked winning the contest, Belinda said, "It feels great to have something I designed as the official image of JHS's 100th celebration."
For more information on the school's centennial event, JHS: 100 Years of Us, please email jhsturns100@jeffersonunion.net.

Congratulations to Victor Duarte-Garcia and Madeleine Hur!
Nominated by JHS Teacher Luis Magallanes, Victor's leadership as a student extended from the classroom to the soccer field and into the community. As captain of the JHS soccer team, Victor took the lead of supporting his teammates, especially when the team was without a coach. Along with excelling in school as a student athlete, he works part-time in the community.
Nominated by Victoria Magbilang, Executive Director of the Daly City Public Library Associates, Madeleine's goal to empower her fellow peers through feminism and teen leadership is nothing short of stellar. Along with receiving this honor, Madeleine serves as a Student Trustee on the JUHSD School Board and holds the title of Daly City's first Youth Poet Laureate.
JUHSD is proud of Victor and Madeleine for representing our District in such a positive light and making a powerful impact in their schools and community!
