Dear Parent/Guardian,
Welcome to JHS 194. We are looking forward to a rewarding school year.

The Chancellor's Regulations have limited the inventory for our school store, thus affecting our revenue. So we are relying on your donations more than ever. The suggested donation per family is $25.00, but anything you can afford is greatly appreciated. All donations will be used to enhance your child's educational experience.
