Mission & Vision

Jennings Community School provides learner-directed experiences and mentoring relationships for success in school and life.

Jennings Community School (JCS) is known as an exemplary, progressive, community-based school that fosters achievement for responsible citizenship, productive work, lifelong learning, and creative, healthy lifetimes. The culture of JCS embraces trust, respect, caring, relationships, and student-driven learning. An advisor working with each student and their parent(s), guardian(s), or invested adult(s) creates a personal learning plan to advance each student. This public school, guided by the school’s Board of Directors, encourages (rewards) Staff and administrative professional growth.

​Over the next five years, JCS will integrate its work-based learning, Career and Technical Education (CTE,) and mentorship initiatives and add new resources for physical activities and nutrition learning. The school will continue to have ever-increasing financial support from a growing constituency of community businesses, families and independent sources. JCS will enhance its capacity for administrative effectiveness, leadership transitions, and student access to services that support their life needs.
