As part of their final unit on Human Impact on Earth, 8th grade AMJHS general science students faced a survival challenge: What if the world as we know it ended… could you survive?
Using only limited and recycled materials donated by staff, students worked in teams to design and build devices to meet one of the five basic survival needs. The results? Incredible creativity and problem-solving!
From animal traps and fishing poles to shelters and first aid kits, these students proved they’re ready for anything—even the end of the world.
Last month, AMJHS 8th graders took on Washington, D.C. — and made memories to last a lifetime. From the powerful silence of Arlington Cemetery to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, students soaked in history at every turn. They visited multiple Smithsonian museums, stopped by the White House, and explored the nation’s capital like pros!
Mrs. Navarro took Aaron Mossell Junior High students to Shea’s Performing Arts Center, where they had the exciting opportunity to perform on stage as part of the Junior Theatre Festival. Chosen by Shea’s to participate, students toured the historic theatre, learned new techniques, and showcased their talent in a professional setting. This event is part of a national initiative led by iTheatrics, an organization dedicated to making musical theatre accessible to young people and schools around the world.

At Aaron Mossel JHS, Miss Navarro's ELA class took advantage of the nice weather to read outside. #LockportLovesLiteracy
AMJHS students got the chance to step inside the Mobile Museum of Tolerance for an unforgettable Civil Rights lesson. Instructor Brian started things off with a real talk about what tolerance means—not just in society, but in our everyday lives and relationships.
The conversation grew into a powerful discussion about identity and culture, and how those shape the way we see the world and treat others. Students opened up, shared their thoughts, and explored ways to speak up for themselves and others—always with peace and purpose.

We’re proud to share that Brayden Powell, a student from Aaron Mossell JHS, was featured on the segment as a Project CKC Brand Ambassador Brayden who brings fresh ideas for T-shirt designs and used his voice to amplify the mission of this incredible nonprofit. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=CT1lCPtb0sc.
