Jensen Beach High School

✨October is all about celebrating the leader of our Falcon Family!✨

October is Principal Appreciation Month, and we’re shining a spotlight on the leadership, commitment, and compassion our principal, Mr. Connolly, brings to JBHS every single day!

Leading a school takes vision, teamwork, countless decisions, and a commitment to helping every student and staff member SOAR. Thank you, Mr. Connolly, for guiding our JBHS community, supporting our teachers, celebrating our students, and helping make Jensen Beach High School a place where all Falcons can thrive.

We hope you'll join us in showing Mr. Connolly some extra Falcon love this month!

💙💚 Hello Week, Falcon Style! 🦅 Our JBHS Band and Student Government Association (SGA) brought the Falcon spirit to Felix A.

Thank you to Felix A. Williams Elementary for inviting our Falcons to be part of this special day! 🖤🩵 #ItsGreat2baFalcon #FalconFamily #HelloWeek #BeKindBeGrateful

Happy School Custodial Workers Recognition Day to the team that keeps our campus clean, safe, and ready to SOAR! You work hard behind the scenes, and we’re not sweeping your contributions under the rug! 😉

💚💙START WITH HELLO!💙💚 Eleven years of choosing kindness, connection and a simple hello. 👋 This week, Felix A. Williams Elementary has been bringing a little extra kindness throughout the campus and today, the Jensen Beach High School Band and SGA helped bring the 11th annual Start With Hello Week to a close by greeting students with music, smiles and high-fives as they arrived at school. 🎶🙌 It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference—and a wonderful way to start the morning. Because at FAWE, we are friends and a family! 💚💙 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #StartWithHello
