ALL THINGS SENIOR!

There is a LOT that happens in your senior year.  It's hard to keep track or know what everything means. The Juanita High School PTSA is here to support our Seniors and their families.

We are happy to partner with the JHS families to navigate this busy and sometimes stressful time.
