Join the List Server for alumni information and more!

We have set up a members only listserver for JHS alumni use. This message board works like a bulletin board, where posts are made available to all members. Postings can include anything pertinent to our class, including member contact and email exchanges, classmate searches, and events. Only members may post, and all email addresses are hidden. The committee will post event information and website updates here.

You are encouraged to join this group instead of Classmates, because there is no fee to post, and if it doesn't work for you, you can unsubscribe!
