Jersey Shore Area Senior High School Expects Your Best
Perhaps you ’ ve seen the t-shirts , the articles in the student newspaper , The PawPrint , or maybe the # JSBlackFlag through social media . Soon , you ’ ll see it at sporting events and flying outside the high school . There are black flag images and references popping up all over , as we embrace a mindset that it represents .
Historically , flags have flown as a means of communication . Many are familiar with a green flag signifying the start of a race , checkered flag at the finish , and perhaps most common , waving the white flag in surrender . The Black Flag , for us , means just the opposite . Surrender is not an option . It ’ s painted on the wall in the principal ’ s office as a reminder to all , that we ’ re not settling for average . We won ’ t accept mediocre . We are striving to be the best in every aspect of our day .
The Black Flag symbolizes the willingness to fight to the end , to the last second , to never give up . In the opening conversations with students this year , we challenged them to fight for opportunities to be at their best , and make those around them better . We want students to know that being part of the Bulldog Nation means that you have the support of all of us as you pursue your goals .
The Black Flag reminds students to take advantage of the chances provided to them at the high school to earn their best grades , to relentlessly work towards their goals , and make sure they are leaving our building with the best possible foundation , in preparation for whatever is next .
At the beginning of the school year , all students were presented with the following during the principal ’ s presentation : " You get to choose your attitude every day . You are the sole person responsible for your attitude , and how you choose your attitude impacts everyone with whom you come in contact " ~ Hamish Brewer , Relentless
We ’ re choosing to use the Black Flag as a visual reminder of the attitude we ’ ve embraced . Whether it ’ s in the classroom , through athletics , or as we represent the Bulldog Nation in our community , our intentions have been declared . When you see the flag , you know you can expect our very best . - Justin Armbruster , JSHS Principal
