Come out and pack the HJHS gymnasium to support our boys basketball team. Our Roadrunners will take on the Mogollon Mustangs in what is sure to be an exciting matchup. Bring your energy, cheer loud, and show great sportsmanship as we encourage and support our young athletes. Let’s make it a great day of Roadrunner pride.
The feathers were flying between the Roadrunners and the Eagles. It was a great home opener with an outstanding crowd and fast paced action from both the girls and boys basketball teams. The energy in the gym was amazing. Thank you to everyone for showing great sportsmanship and for being encouraging and supportive of all players. What a fantastic night for junior high basketball.
Friday marked the Grand Opening of the BIJOU (Bee zhoo) Teen Center located at 1002 W. Hopi Drive and HJHS is thrilled to partner with our community to support our students. This exciting new space offers a welcoming place for students to connect and grow whether they are making new friends, playing shuffleboard or board games, finding a quiet place to study, participating in a group, communicating through a podcast, or enjoying activities that make use of the beautiful kitchen.
Opportunities like this strengthen the bond between our school and community and create positive spaces for our students to thrive. Be on the lookout for more information.

It has been a great week welcoming students back from Winter Recess. Today we enjoyed our scheduled Student Council sponsored Game Day, and the energy on campus was amazing. Laughter, teamwork, and school spirit filled the gym as students participated and cheered each other on.
This month’s most spirited class was our 8th graders. They showed outstanding enthusiasm and pride throughout the event. A special thank you to Ms. Jimenez and Mrs. Paschal for sponsoring and supporting this great group of students. Their leadership helped make the day a success.
Moments like these remind us how special our junior high community is. The excitement, positive attitudes, and student engagement truly made today something to celebrate. Be sure to check out the photos to see the smiles, spirit, and fun that made this Game Day unforgettable.

So proud of our amazing teams of 6th and 7th graders who competed in their first Lego League robotics competition on December 6 at Coconino High School in Flagstaff. These students worked incredibly hard, learned a ton, and represented their school with energy, dedication, and endless curiosity. They truly are young innovators.
Both teams are already buzzing with excitement for next year and cannot wait to compete again. It was a marathon day for everyone. Students met at 5:15 in the morning and did not return until after 7 in the evening, but every moment was filled with learning, teamwork, and fun.
A huge thank you to Coach Baloo and Coach Jimenez for the time, passion, and commitment you pour into this program. You make opportunities like this possible.

White Mountain League Finals on December 6 was a day to celebrate. Our HJHS wrestlers showed incredible heart and grit. Zayne Kee battled his way to a runner up finish in the 68 pound division and Alexander Dawson dominated the mat to become the Champion at 111 pounds. Both athletes trained hard all season and their success is well earned. We are proud of their dedication and proud to have them representing HJHS.

The event is part of HealthCorps’ broader mission to help students build lifelong healthy habits through fun, inclusive school activities that strengthen both physical and mental well-being.

The recent Arizona on the Move Lap A Thon sponsored by HealthCorps "Teens Make Health Happen", brought together students in a spirited celebration of physical activity. HJHS competed against twenty schools statewide and earned first place. HealthCorps will provide a banner and trophy in recognition of this outstanding achievement.
Students participated with enthusiasm and purpose, demonstrating how movement can bring the school community together. Each step served as a reminder that staying active supports not only physical well being but also cooperation, positive energy, and lifelong healthy habits.
