From an Idea to Reality!
Last spring, our HJHS Student Council members presented an idea to our school board: they wanted a new sound system for the junior high gym! Not only did they share their vision, but they were also willing to contribute money to help make it happen.
Today, that idea became a reality! The installation of our new gym sound system is complete!
This is what student leadership, initiative, and teamwork look like. Our students saw a need, developed a plan, spoke up, and helped make a positive difference for their school.
A huge thank you to our HUSD IT Department and Maintenance Department for their work in making this happen, our supportive school system for helping bring this project to life, and especially our HJHS Student Council members for believing in their idea and following through.
We also want to recognize and thank our Student Council sponsors, Alicia Jimenez and Adicia Paschal.

🌟 Celebrating Native American Heritage Month! 🌟
This evening, we were honored to welcome Aariyanna Keesonnie, former Miss Northern Navajo 2023–2024, who shared a wonderful presentation about the Navajo Kinaalda'.
The Kinaalda' is a sacred Navajo coming-of-age ceremony that celebrates a young woman's transition into adulthood. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students and families to learn more about this important tradition and its cultural significance.
A special thank you to all the families who came out and brought their children to participate. Your support and involvement help keep our traditions, culture, and teachings alive for the next generation.
Thank you to Hulet Elementary School for hosting this event, Indian Education Committee for sponsoring it, Bernice Gover, HUSD Director of Indian Education, for welcoming our families, directing parents to the library, and taking care of the cleanup after the event.
What a beautiful way to celebrate and honor Native American Heritage Month! ❤️

What a great evening of wrestling at HJHS!
Today we hosted a four-way wrestling meet, and our young Roadrunners, both boys and girls, did a fantastic job representing HJHS!
A big thank you to all the families who came out to cheer on and support our wrestlers. Your presence means so much to our students, and we especially appreciate the positive sportsmanship you showed in the stands.
It takes a team, and we are grateful for our Roadrunner families! ❤️🤍💙

Fueling the future of engineering, one test run at a time!
Our Industrial Arts students have been diving headfirst into the world of aerodynamics—exploring how drag, downforce, and airflow impact speed and performance. But we don't just stop at the theory.
Students took their knowledge straight to the workshop, applying precision design and woodworking to craft custom CO2 dragsters. The ultimate test? High-speed class period races to see whose car dominates the track!
Thank you Mr. Salley!

The HJHS Robotics Club visited the University of Arizona’s Biosphere 2 in Tucson to explore ecosystems and learn about the changes facing different biomes around the world.
Students discovered how pollution and global warming impact our planet’s delicate ecosystems and the importance of finding innovative solutions to protect our environment.
This hands-on learning experience will help inspire their ideas for their FIRST LEGO League BioGlow project, connecting science, technology, and robotics to real works environmental challenges.
Thank you Ms. Baloo and Ms. Jimenez for taking our students and letting them discover new STEM activities.

A HUGE thank you to our students, staff, parents, and community members who came out to walk with us today! We had approximately 150 students walking the perimeter of our junior high campus, completing more than 360 laps altogether! Some completed one lap, while one determined Roadrunner completed an incredible NINE LAPS during the lunch hour!
A special thank you to school board member Debbie Shumway and Superintendent Koerperich for taking time out of their day to support our students and this important event. We also want to give a BIG shout-out to our HJHS Student Council for helping make this kickoff a success!
It was wonderful to see our school and community come together to promote healthy choices and a drug-free lifestyle. Your support makes a difference, and we are grateful for each of you!
