Our Holbrook Junior High School teachers have officially started Phase 2 of our Little Libraries Community Project! 📚
This project supports our community partner, the BIJOU Teen Center, who came up with the wonderful idea of adding more little libraries throughout our community. We are excited to work together to bring this vision to life!
🔨 Phase 1: Our talented Industrial Arts students built the little libraries.
🎨 Phase 2: Our teachers are bringing their creativity and teamwork to the project!
🏠 Phase 3: Our teachers will complete each little library with its own unique theme, making every one special!
We are proud of our Roadrunners for sharing their talents, supporting literacy, and giving back to the community. When schools and community partners work together, wonderful things happen!
Building little libraries, growing a love of reading, and strengthening the community we love!
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is our 1st Quarter Awards Assembly! Students who will be receiving a certificate were given an invitation to bring home.
Please ask your child if they received an invitation.
We look forward to celebrating our Roadrunners’ accomplishments with you tomorrow!

What a wonderful start to the band performance season! ❤️🤍💙 Congratulations to our HJHS band students on their first performance of the school year at the HUSD District Band Concert!
🌟 An extra shout-out to our students who performed solos! It takes courage and confidence to step forward and perform individually. We are proud of you for sharing your musical talents!
👏 A special thank you to Ms. Esquerra for preparing our students and giving them the opportunity to showcase their hard work and musical growth.
❤️ Thank you to all the parents and families who filled the auditorium and came out to support our HUSD band students. Your support means so much to our students, teachers, and district!

Mr. Novak’s 7th grade social studies students brought history to life by reenacting Martin Luther’s posting of the 95 Theses in the 16th century.
Students created their own decrees about school policies, including starting school later, having an open campus for lunch, changing the dress code, and extending lunch periods. They walked together to the office, read their decrees aloud, posted them on the principal’s door, and left.
This hands on activity helped students connect a historical event to the world around them while practicing critical thinking, communication, and historical analysis.
Way to go, Mr. Novak and our 7th grade Roadrunners, for making learning engaging and meaningful!
As you may know, we are on a two-hour delay this morning due to the weather. Please remind your child that when they arrive at 10:00 a.m., they should report directly to their second-hour class.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this unpredictable weather. Our top priority is keeping our students and staff safe!
Have a great morning, and please stay safe!

While students are away for Fall Break, I had the opportunity to read the book reviews posted on the walls of our library. It was fun to see reviews ranging from 5 stars to 1 or 2 stars! ⭐ Every reader has their own opinion, and I enjoyed seeing our students share their honest thoughts about the books they read.
Our 8th grade students proudly completed their first book reviews of Quarter 1! Each student shared thoughts, opinions, and reflections about a book they read. Activities like these encourage reading, critical thinking, and the ability to express ideas.
Thank you, Mrs. Chavez, for providing students with opportunities to read, reflect, and share their voices. I am proud of our Roadrunners for their efforts!
❤️🤍💙 ONE TEAM. ONE VISION. EVERY CLASS. EVERY DAY!
Celebrating Our Rich Roadrunner Heritage & Wishing HUSD a Restful Fall Break!
As Fall Break begins, we wish all of our Roadrunners a safe, restful, and rejuvenating break.
Today, we also extend a warm and respectful Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day to our entire HUSD family!
As we reflect on our shared commitment to Helping Unique Students Develop, we proudly honor the rich heritage, strong culture, and unique contributions of the more than 1,200 Native American students who choose to be HUSD #3 Roadrunners!
HUSD #3 is uniquely enriched by students and staff representing numerous tribal nations, including the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes of Fort Peck, The Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Gila River Indian Community, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois), The Hopi Tribe, Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Navajo Nation, Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, Pueblo of Jemez, Pueblo of Laguna, Pueblo of Zuni, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, San Carlos Apache Tribe, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, Tohono O'odham Nation, White Mountain Apache Tribe, Yavapai-Apache Nation, as well as our Hawaiian and Filipino relatives, among many others.
Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15th through October 15th, give us the opportunity to celebrate the 366 Hispanic families that choose to be Roadrunners! HUSD #3 would like to recognize our multi-generational Mexican-American families whose ancestral ties, rich cultural traditions, and centuries of history in Holbrook and Northern Arizona remain a vital part of our community’s story.
Finally, we celebrate ALL Roadrunners for the putting the "U" in HUSD #3! We are inspired by the rich cultures, diversity and the bond that we all share as Roadrunners! As we say, "Once A Roadrunner, Always a Roadrunner!"
Have a wonderful Fall Break! We look forward to seeing all Roadrunners back on Monday, October 19th!
Today, we wrapped up our first quarter of school! Time has flown by with all the learning, activities, and wonderful memories being made each day at Holbrook Junior High.
After lunch, while waiting for the buses, students and teachers enjoyed some time together before heading home for a weeklong Fall Break. Music was playing, students and teachers were dancing, some were playing volleyball and basketball, and others were simply visiting with friends and enjoying each other's company. It was a fun way to end the quarter!
Thank you, parents, for encouraging your children to attend school every day, participate in school activities, and show kindness to others. Your support makes a difference, and we appreciate you being part of our Roadrunner family!
We look forward to welcoming our Roadrunners back on Monday, October 19!
Have a safe and happy Fall Break!

Today was a great day to celebrate Homecoming! We had many students representing Holbrook Junior High in the HHS Homecoming Parade, including our football, cross country, softball, and Student Council members.
As the parade passed by the junior high, our Roadrunners lined the curb wearing their red, white, and blue, cheering on everyone who participated. From Homecoming royalty and cheerleaders to clubs and organizations, our students showed their support and school spirit!
A special thank you to our teachers, coaches, and sponsors for providing opportunities for our students to get involved, build relationships, and make lasting memories. These experiences help make school a fun and positive place to be.
Once a Roadrunner, always a Roadrunner!
Our Student Council worked together as a team Thursday evening to get their float ready for the HHS Homecoming Parade! This year’s Homecoming theme was “A Night in Vegas,” and our Roadrunners were ready to join in the excitement!
A big thank you to Ms. Jimenez and Mrs. Paschal for sponsoring Student Council and supporting our students. We appreciate the time, energy, and creativity they put into helping our students develop leadership skills and bring fun, positive activities to our school.
These experiences help build teamwork, school spirit, and lasting memories. Thank you for helping make Holbrook Junior High a great place to learn, grow, and be part of something special!

Our Roadrunners brought their creativity and imagination to school for Anything But a Backpack Day! We had so many students participate, and the creative ways they found to carry their binders, books, and water bottles did not disappoint!
Some of the unique items we spotted included a mop bucket, bean bag chair, roping bag, Husky tool box case, flower basket, guitar case, vehicle tire, trash tote, ice cream cone, and even a multi-toolbox! These were just a few of the many creative ideas we saw throughout the day. Our students definitely came ready to think outside the box!
A big THANK YOU to our parents for helping your students participate in Homecoming Spirit Week. Your support helps make these activities fun, memorable, and special for our Roadrunners!

Our Industrial Arts program gives Holbrook Junior High students the opportunity to learn by doing!
Through hands-on projects, students build confidence, strengthen critical thinking skills, and experience the satisfaction of seeing their hard work come together. They also begin exploring skills that can open doors to future careers in construction, woodworking, manufacturing, engineering, and other skilled trades.
Our Roadrunners are not just learning how to build projects. They are building confidence, developing skills, and creating possibilities for their future!
One Team. One Vision. Every Class. Every Day.
