Thank you to JAHHS alumni Eric Phelps for stopping by to talk to students about Elizabeth City State University this morning.

Phelps shared the resources and academic opportunities available at ECSU and explained how he balanced being in ROTC, a student athlete, school work and career opportunities while still making time for fun.

We are so grateful for our incredible network of alumni who continue to give back to their community. Go ACES!!! 💙💛💙💛

💙💛 Catch a Sneak Peak of Last Week's Pep Rally 🎉

ACES celebrated Homecoming with a pep rally at the end of the school day on Friday.

The Marching ACES welcomed students as they entered the gym and sat with their graduating class.

Fall sports teams were recognized for their hard work this season.

Our JV and varsity cheer squads performed and led a "Who's the Loudest Competition" between the classes.

And the 2026 Homecoming Court was introduced before teachers were challenged to a students vs teachers game to wrap things up.
