"Concord University presented their new Dual Credit Pathways Pilot Project to students at James Monroe on February 23. Dr. Kendra Boggess, Concord University's president, and Dr. Joetta Basile, Superintendent, signed the memorandum of understanding allowing James Monroe students to participate in the program. The Pathways program is a FREE program that will aid students who are interested in majoring in Education, Cybersecurity, Nursing, or Social Work in getting a head start on their degrees while they are still in high school. Students entering the program can then complete a 4-year program in 2 years following high school. The program will begin this Fall, 2025. Any students that are interested are encouraged to stop by the guidance office to pick up pamphlets with more information."
CONGRATULATIONS to the JMHS Girls Basketball for winning the regional championship!!! They play in the state tournaments next Wednesday at 9:00 pm.

As we celebrate Counselors Appreciation Week, James Monroe High School want to take a moment to express our gratitude for the support, guidance, and dedication our counselors, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Perdue bring to our students.
Their tireless efforts to provide valuable insights, encouragement, and assistance have not gone unnoticed. Whether is navigating the college application process or addressing various challenges that arise during the school year, they consistently demonstrate a remarkable commitment to the personal and academic growth of our students.
We hope they had a wonderful Counselor Appreciation week!
