Victor Williams JHS Principal We are honored to work with such a great group of people. Jasper High School offers twelve program areas preparing our students for post-secondary career opportunities. Our Career & Technical Education Department is ever growing and is second to none. Jim Stricklan Career & Technical Education Coordinator JHS Assistant Principal “Mission First - Team Always” I was raised by my grandmother ten miles out of town, down a dirt road in a white-framed house with a red porch. We were surrounded by a pine plantation and had Wisteria and Bridal Wreath bushes around the house. I had an uncle who taught me to hunt, fish, and enjoy the outdoors. I served in the Army as an Airborne Infantry Officer, where I had the opportunity to serve in combat in the Republic of Panama, to remove a dictator President. I use my past as an opportunity to serve young people. Nothing gives me greater joy than helping young people mature, learn, and grow in wisdom. “Mission First -Team Always” 33
