About
Welcome to Juanita High School!
JHS Vision Statement
Students, staff, parents, and community working together will provide our students the opportunity to learn to use their minds well and develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to become life-long learners, responsible citizens, informed decision-makers, and competitive workers in our global economy.
JHS Beliefs
The purpose of school is to be academic in nature and to prepare students for a society which is changing, highly technological and interdependent. Students should meet high expectations within the scope of their individual abilities and unique learning needs. The quality of work produced depends upon the student’s level of engagement and the quality of work expected and provided.
An encouraging and nurturing learning environment is essential for growth; students thrive when given personal attention. Students and staff need time for planning, reflecting and working together.Partnerships between school, family and community are essential.
Final responsibility rests with the individual student for behavior and performance.

Land Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the Southern Salish Sea region lies on the unceded and ancestral land of the Coast Salish peoples, the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Puyallup, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Snohomish, Suquamish and Tulalip tribes and other tribes of the Puget Sound Salish people, and that present-day City of Kirkland is in the traditional heartland of the Lake People and the River People. We honor with gratitude the land itself, the First People – who have reserved treaty rights and continue to live here since time immemorial – and their ancestral heritage.
