High School Articulation
Students from JAMS have several options where to attend high school. In addition to the local Centinela Valley High Schools, there are a variety of charter and private schools in the area. The counselors assist 8th grade families through the process of learning about the different high school options, meeting the application requirements and selecting the best school for the 9th grade. We encourage students to apply to at least three high schools!
