I went Jason Lee Jr. High from 1974 - 1977. It was a pretty amazing school back then. I am looking for the school year books from those years. This was the best school ever. The staff were amazing. If you let them they will be a great help to you. It took me a year and a half to figure that out. Those teachers never gave up on me. If it wasn't for them I don't know where I would have ended up. The princepals were also amazing. At that time there was George Miller and Marvin Shane. I probably put some gray hairs on those amazing men. They also never gave up on me. Once a Bobcat always a Bobcat.
