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.

“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
