Time for a second public high school?

JC schools ready to present high school options

After years of debating whether Jefferson City’s public schools need a second public high school, area residents will have an opportunity to discuss the high school’s future four times in the next three weeks.

In two formal presentations and two other, more casual “open house” formats, district officials will discuss the three options developed by the Secondary Schools Task Force over the last 18 months, after their creation by then-new Superintendent Brian Mitchell.

All four meetings will be held in the Jefferson City High School Cafeteria, with formal presentations at 7 p.m. Thursday and, again, on April 12, and the more casual “open house” formats on April 19 and 21, from 5-7 p.m.

People in JC will never vote for it. They don't like change or advancement!

it took JC forever to add AC to the high school, 1995 they finally added them. the middle schools took a long time as well. JC high can use an upgrade. i just don't see it happening.

What's the need? That old 1950s building with window shaker air conditioners and no computers is just fine for preparing our students for technical careers of the 20th century! (ha ha!)

Just add some trailer classrooms and call it a day. Wouldn't be enough money for another high school building after they built its football stadium.
