The Jamestown High School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has announced its November and December spotlight students.

A partnership with local businesses, “Spotlight Students” are recognized by the PTO for academic or community achievements. Students can be nominated by any JHS staff member and anonymously reviewed during monthly PTO meetings. Any students in good standing in attendance and academics are eligible. One student from each grade level is chosen.

The winners receive gift cards and certificates to local establishments. Business partners include Crown Street Roasting, Hot Spot Cafe, Labyrinth Press Co. and Tim Hortons.
