We’d like to take the time to recognize our incredible school counselor, Mrs. Henderson. You make a huge difference in the lives of the students, staff, and families you work with each and every day! Our students are building your ever-growing “Wall of Why” as a thank you for being a listener, a comforter, and a voice of reason when needed. Thank you for being our school counselor, our super hero.

Natchitoches Junior High School has introduced JROTC to its campus! With the support of First Sergeant Selby and and partnership with Natchitoches Central’s ROTC program, our NJH cadets will learn citizenship, leadership, character, and community service. The JROTC program will support students with working to better the cadet’s family, school, and country. We look forward to the success of this program and our students as they grow as scholars in our school.
The Boys to Men club of NJH had the opportunity to experience a very important part of history this past weekend. These young men visited the Carrying On a Dream exhibit in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Black History month. The exhibit featured the actual hearse that transported Dr. King after his assassination. During their visit, KTBS took the opportunity to interview the Boys to Men Club. Once again, shout out to Mr. Thomas for the time and effort he puts into these young men's lives. To be able to witness this moment in history was a once in a lifetime experience!!
On the count of three shout, I’m a STAR!”
