When ATI Athletic Trainer Elizabeth “Liz” Short began coaching wrestling at Joliet Central High School in 2018, the team only had six girls. During the 2019-2020 season, the team saw a huge surge in female participation, beginning the season with 22 girls and ending with 15.
Joliet Township High School congratulates the 2019-2020 Semester 2 Honor Roll recipients. This academic success and hard work is to be commended.
Within the first few words of the JTHS Mission Statement you will find our school district described as both “diverse” and “unified.”
Joliet Central High School Students of the Month for May
Joliet Central High School honored all twenty finalists as Mr. and Ms. J for the 2019-2020 school year
Dear JTHS Families,
Thank you for your patience during this uncertain time. I know students and families are anxiously awaiting information related to the re-opening of school.
At the special meeting on July 13, the JTHS Board of Education unanimously approved a Memorandum of Agreement with the teacher’s union for the 2020-2021 re-opening of school which aligns to the 2020-2021 school year re-opening plan that was also presented.
The re-opening plan was developed collaboratively with teachers, counselors, deans, union leaders and administrators using data from parent, student and staff surveys while adhering to Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) requirements.
JTHS has been planning for the fall re-opening since the 2019-2020 school year ended to ensure that we can provide a robust model for remote and blended instruction that is pedagogically sound. Remote learning for the upcoming school year will not look like it did during the COVID-19 shut down. Attendance will be recorded for each class period. Teachers will deliver instruction online and will assign engaging assignments and projects to be completed by groups (online) or individually. JTHS has purchased additional learning platforms and a new student management system that will allow parents to easily access grades, attendance data, assignments details, student schedules and more. We have been working hard to ensure quality instructional delivery for all students.
To communicate re-opening of school information, we created a webpage in English and Spanish. Please visit this website to view remote and blended learning schedules, FAQ’s, school safety measures, the 2020-2021 calendar and more.
I want to remind our parents and guardians that it is very important that we have your email address on file and that you are signed up for text messaging. As we receive updated guidance, the re-opening plan may change. If you are not receiving emails, please contact info@jths.org. To sign up for text messages text Y to 67587.
We look forward to the re-opening of school and to welcoming back our students in-person or remotely.

Estimadas familias de JTHS,
Gracias por su paciencia durante este tiempo incierto. Sé que los estudiantes y las familias esperan ansiosamente la información relacionada con la reapertura de la escuela.
En la reunión especial del 13 de julio, la Junta de Educación de JTHS aprobó por unanimidad un Memorando de Acuerdo con el sindicato de maestros para la reapertura de la escuela en el año escolar 2020-2021, que coincide con el plan de reapertura del año escolar 2020-2021 que también se presentó.
El plan de reapertura fue desarrollado en colaboración con maestros, consejeros, decanos, líderes sindicales y administradores, utilizando datos de encuestas a padres, estudiantes y personal, mientras se adhería a los requisitos del Departamento de Salud Pública de Illinois (IDPH) y de la Junta de Educación del Estado de Illinois (ISBE).
JTHS ha estado planeando la reapertura del otoño desde que terminó el año escolar 2019-2020 para asegurar que podamos proporcionar un programa fuerte de enseñanza a distancia y mixta que sea sólido en lo pedagógico. La enseñanza a distancia para el próximo año escolar no se verá como lo hizo durante el cierre de COVID-19. La asistencia será registrada para cada período de clase. Los profesores impartirán la instrucción en línea y asignarán tareas y proyectos interesantes para ser completados por grupos (en línea) o individualmente. JTHS ha comprado plataformas de aprendizaje adicionales y un nuevo sistema de gestión de estudiantes que permitirá a los padres acceder fácilmente a las calificaciones, los datos de asistencia, los detalles de las tareas, los horarios de los estudiantes y más. Hemos estado trabajando duro para asegurar la calidad de la instrucción para todos los estudiantes.
Para comunicar la información sobre la reapertura de la escuela, creamos una página web en inglés y en español. Por favor, visite este sitio web para ver los horarios de aprendizaje a distancia y mixto, las preguntas frecuentes, las medidas de seguridad en las escuelas, el calendario 2020-2021 y más.
Quiero recordarles a nuestros padres y tutores que es muy importante que tengamos su dirección de correo electrónico en el archivo y que estén inscritos para recibir mensajes de texto. A medida que recibamos instrucciones actualizadas, el plan de reapertura puede cambiar. Si no reciben correos electrónicos, por favor comuníquense con info@jths.org. Para inscribirse para recibir mensajes de texto, envíe un mensaje de texto de Y a 67587.
Esperamos la reapertura de la escuela y dar la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes en persona o a distancia.
Su socio en la educación,
La Dra. Karla Guseman
