Leadership and Community
Each year, freshmen are oriented to the JCHS community through an overnight camping retreat before the start of classes. In addition, JCHS kicks off the school year with the annual all-school retreat and returns with a new-found sense of community. Throughout the school year, students lead more than 20 different clubs including the Literary Magazine, Digital Media Club and Social Club, in addition to new clubs that students create every year. Dances, school parties, spirit week, a ski trip, holiday celebrations and Jewish cultural traditions are all part of the JCHS experience.

Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or community:
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
“Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilisation.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
