Yearbook FAQs
1. Can I still buy a 21-22 yearbook? Yes, you can still reserve a copy of the 2021-2022 yearbook! Since it includes the entire school year, yearbooks are delivered the following fall (September 2022). Reserve your copy now:
2. I'm not sure if I bought a yearbook already. How do I know? Check out the 21-22 List of reserved books. If you're getting an email from Herff Jones, our publisher, you have not reserved a book yet.

Key Club: Blood Drive
This past Thursday, the Key Club held another successful blood drive at SJHS!
Key Club and Builders Club:
The SJHS Key Club and Builders Club teamed up to make dog treats and toys for Animal Control this week. They also collected supplies like plastic bags, food, etc.
It was a great joint project but we were just a little confused as to why the dog treats smelled so good while they were baking! HA!
