Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

Welcome back to a new school year at Jonesport-Beals High School! I hope this letter finds you all well and enjoying the final days of summer. As we prepare to begin the 2025–2026 school year, I am filled with excitement and gratitude to continue serving as your principal for the third year.

Each year brings new opportunities for growth, learning, and connection, and this year is no exception. Our dedicated faculty and staff have been working hard over the summer to prepare engaging lessons, enhance our learning environment, and ensure that every student is set up for success. Whether you're returning to JBHS or joining us for the first time, I want you to know that you are an important part of our school community.

This year, we will continue building on the progress we've made together, with a strong focus on academic achievement, student well-being, and community involvement. We are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where every student can thrive—both inside and outside the classroom.

Please mark your calendars for our Back to School night on September 17, 2025 (6pm - 7pm), which will be a great opportunity to meet your teachers, tour the school, and learn more about what’s in store for the year ahead.

I encourage all students to get involved—whether it’s through sports, clubs, music, or other activities. Your time at JBHS is not only about academic learning, but also about discovering your passions, building friendships, and growing into the best version of yourself.

If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, my door is always open. Communication between school and home is key, and I value the partnership we share in supporting your child’s education.

Let’s make 2025–2026 our best year yet!

Sincerely,
Joseph Swain
Principal,  Jonesport-Beals High School
