This is Ms. Schultz, your principal, and I would like to welcome everyone back to school this year! We are so proud to be Mustangs and be part of the best school in Pasco County. Congratulations to all of our Mustangs as we are an A school!

Parents and guardians, as a reminder, you must participate in the Parent/Guardian Dance Meeting before your child can attend dances at JWMHS. The online option is available now in your child’s myLearning account.
