“A Tradition of Pride and Excellence”
Did you know???
The JPS athletic department comprises less than 7/10 of 1% of the total school budget (0.68%). This is one of the biggest “bangs for the buck” that our school district and community gets from it’s investment in the athletic participation of the youngsters in our district. Please continue to support interscholastic athletics in Jamestown!
