Joan Macqueen Middle School
Jere Andler: i am a proud alpine parent, but am very disapointed that JMMS uses so little technology, which we have available, to give our students the skills and expertise that is going to help them in the coming century. I have a GATE student who has not done one single High Tech or High Reasoning project this year, and it is already January!!!!
