The Class of 2026 was in 7th grade at North Park when masks, social distancing, and uncertainty were part of everyday school life. Also, a throwback to when Aaron Mossell JHS was called North Park JHS!
In this archived post, students in Ms. Swanson's health classes explored an important question inspired by an article, "Would You Stand Up to Hate?" Through thoughtful discussions and activities, they examined kindness, courage, and the importance of standing up for others.
Looking back at these photos, it's easy to notice the masks. But what stands out even more is the resilience behind them. Now, those same 7th graders are preparing to walk across the graduation stage as the Class of 2026. 🎓

In celebration of Earth Day, students at Aaron Mossell and Emmet Belknap showed what it means to take pride in their school and community. The Go Green Club and the Girls Modified Softball Team at AMJHS and the Student Council at EB joined forces for an Earth Day clean-up. Together they made a positive impact right here at home. Happy Earth Day!
The Veggie Van made a stop at Emmet Belknap yesterday! Sign up for the next date they are at our schools on Tuesday, April 28th at Aaron Mossell Junior HS.
