Today is Athletic Director Kathy Bondsteel's retirement from JCS. She has worn many hats over her career from working at Hillsdale College and Hillsdale Academy as an administrative assistant to Hillsdale Community Schools where she was the administrative assistant to the AD. She was also a spot welder, production control clerk, worked at a family owned convenience store, and a secretary at the USDA.
However, she is best known for 17.5 years as Athletic Director of JCS. She was a pioneer in that she was the first woman to be the AD in the Big 8. She was elected region AD of the year two times and worked on many MHSAA committees. She is well respected amongst her peers. She always made the officials feel welcome.
Her position is not an easy one. There are a lot of moving parts to the position and you, at times, are working with staff and athletes at their lowest in times of defeat. She always remained positive and, most importantly, cared about kids. We hope that her retirement brings her all the love (grandkids) and TIME she has earned. Thank you for everything you have done for JCS! Best of luck and go Comets!

Good evening Comet families! In light of the upcoming winter storm, JCS will be closed tomorrow. Getting to school would not be an issue but getting home will. I know half days can be challenging for some families as well. Have a nice and safe weekend. Go Comets!
The safety and security/mental health presentation will have to be rescheduled. I will let you all know when the new date/time is. I hope you all had a wonder Christmas and New Year. Go Comets!!!
Happy New Year Comets!!!

I was honored to introduce Gracen Hager, our JHS Student of the Month, to the Kiwanis Club in Hillsdale. She was recognized for this outstanding achievement by Kiwanis. She's an all "A" student that is a member of the volleyball, basketball, and softball teams. Additionally, she is in FFA, Above the Influence, NHS and 100 Women Who Care, and is senior class president! More importantly, she is just a good person.
She received a $100 for her future endeavors from Kiwanis. JCS would like to thank Kiwanis for taking the time, and money, to recognize one of our finest. Go Comets!

It can be easy to get lost on any one project for the bond. However, it's important to remember that the two top priorities for the bond are safe and secure entryways at the elementary and middle school and the updated classroom and instructional technology.
The instructional technology updates will allow us to take a leap ahead of other districts to continue the great education we now provide. The technology has to be replaced because Windows 10 will no longer be supported. The bond will enable us to free up money for programming and staff AND upgrade our technology instead of just replacing it.
