Spirit Week is off to a great start at HJHS!
We are joining our high school Roadrunners for their “A Night in Vegas” Homecoming Week, and our students are showing up and having fun!
Today’s theme was Horse Power vs. HORSEPOWER! Students dressed as cowboys and cowgirls or as F1 drivers and pit crews. We have a LOT of students participating, and it is so much fun seeing their creativity and school spirit!
A BIG thank you to our parents for helping our students find the outfits and items they need to participate throughout the week. Your support makes these special school memories possible!
Let’s keep the spirit going, Roadrunners! ❤️🤍💙
One Team. One Vision. Every Class. Every Day.

THURSDAY: ANYTHING BUT A BACKPACK DAY!
We know you’ve been asking… “What can I bring?” 👀
Thursday is your chance to get creative and show your school spirit by carrying your school supplies in ANYTHING BUT A BACKPACK!
We want to have fun, but remember… we are still here to LEARN! 📚
Here are the rules:
✅ Must be school appropriate
✅ Must be safe to carry through the hallways
✅ Must be able to hold your school supplies
✅ Must be something YOU can manage on your own
🚫 NO living things — this means no people or animals! 😂
🚫 Must NOT block hallways, doors, or classroom walkways
🤔 Not sure if your idea is okay? ASK FIRST!
School administration has the final say on whether your item is safe and appropriate.
Remember to be Respectful, Responsible, and Reliably Safe!
❤️🤍💙 ONE TEAM. ONE VISION. EVERY CLASS. EVERY DAY. ❤️🤍💙

Learning comes to life when students have the opportunity to research, create, and share!
Mrs. Visser’s 7th Grade English students researched an animal, created a PowerPoint presentation, and presented their findings to their classmates.
Students also used the AVID WICOR strategies throughout the project: Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading. These strategies helped students organize their thinking, work with others, conduct research, and communicate what they learned.
We are proud of our Futuristic Roadrunners for building their confidence, sharing their knowledge, and taking ownership of their learning!

Great Things Are Happening in Art Class!
Our students recently participated in a Two Stars and a Wish activity. Each student selected a classmate’s artwork and gave two positive comments and one suggestion for improvement.
The Essential Standard was:
“How can we give and use feedback to improve our work without hurting each other’s feelings?”
Students presented their selected classmate’s artwork using academic language and then had the opportunity to talk about the experience. Students shared how proud they were that others liked their artwork, and some said the feedback motivated them to work harder.
Collaboration is one of our WICOR skills for AVID, and our Futuristic Roadrunners put that skill into action! Some students were nervous about presenting, but they stepped outside their comfort zones, supported one another, and did a fantastic job!
A special shout out to our Art Teacher, Miss Kaulili, for creating meaningful learning experiences that build confidence, collaboration, creativity, and kindness.

Congratulations to both our boys and girls Cross Country teams on a fantastic finish at the White Mountain Championship in Winslow on Friday!
Our girls team brought home the championship, and our boys team finished as runner-up! We also had several Roadrunners medal individually. What an incredible accomplishment for our student athletes!
After the race, our students enjoyed some well-deserved pizza, cold drinks, and beautiful weather. It was a great way to celebrate a successful season together.
A huge thank you to all of our parents, families, and supporters who came out to cheer on our student athletes.
And to our coaches, thank you for the time, dedication, encouragement, and commitment you give to our students. You do so much more than coach a sport. You teach teamwork, perseverance, discipline, and what it means to be part of a team.
Congratulations on a great season! Go Roadrunners!
🥎 That’s a Wrap on Our Softball Season! ❤️🤍💙
We wrapped up our softball season Saturday morning in Show Low, and I could not be more proud of our Roadrunner softball team!
A huge thank you to our coaches for the time, dedication, and encouragement you gave our student athletes all season long. To our young ladies, thank you for working hard, supporting one another, and representing HJHS with such great sportsmanship.
It was also wonderful seeing so many of our parents, staff, and students out supporting our athletes. That Roadrunner support means so much to our students!
Remember, people may not remember every game you win or lose, but they will remember how you treated others and the sportsmanship you displayed.
Once a Roadrunner, always a Roadrunner!

A little indoor lunch fun! 😊
With students stuck inside during lunch on Monday and Tuesday, Ms. Estridge brought out a few games and gave them a chance to hang out, play, and enjoy some time together. It was so much fun to see students laughing, interacting, and making the most of an indoor day!

Last night’s District Choir Concert was truly something to be proud of. Our Holbrook Junior High students did an AMAZING job! They looked so professional and performed with such confidence, poise, and pride. Watching them step onto that stage and share their talents with our community made me incredibly proud to be their principal.
You could see the hard work and preparation that went into their performance. Our students represented Holbrook Junior High so well, and they looked and sounded like they were ready for the competition stage!
I also want to give a very special shoutout to Ms. Esquerra. Last night was her very first concert as a teacher, and she did a fantastic job! What a wonderful accomplishment and a great beginning to what I know will be a special journey with our students.
Thank you to all of our staff members and parents who came out to support our students. When our community comes together to celebrate our kids, it makes these moments even more meaningful.
Keep singing, keep growing, and keep showing our community what you can do!
