About UsWelcome to the Jennings School District where we are committed to continuous improvement. The focus of our mission is to ensure that each student develops a passion for learning through challenging curricula. We are a community of learners committed to excellence in education.
Our theme for the 2015-16 school year is: Students First: Transforming Schools and Communities. We believe that collectively, sustainable school improvement can occur. We believe that a child's zip code should not determine the quality of education they receive. Please take time to explore our links to each school on our web page, learn more about ways to support high poverty learners through the resources on our web page, and explore our district calendar for key dates in which you can become involved. The 2015-16 school year will be an exciting school year. It is a privilege to serve the families of the Jennings School District. Thank you for your continued support. I welcome your feedback. Please feel free to contact me anytime at [email protected]. Sincerely, Tiffany Anderson, Ed.D. |
Jennings History |
Jennings School District has a long and distinguished history, extending back over 125 years to 1871. The School District of Jennings is located in North St. Louis County and is adjacent to the City of St. Louis. It is composed of three small townships, Jennings, Country Club Hills, and Flordell Hills, with a total population of approximately 20,000. The School District consists of approximately 3,000 K-12 students. We have eight schools and one alternative program. The district's schools are Fairview Primary, Fairview Intermediate, Northview Elementary, Woodland Elementary, Hanrahan Elementary, Jennings Middle School and Jennings Senior High. Jennings believe in restorative justice. rather than placing students out of school for infractions in school, Jennings places students in alternative settings, when possible. The alternative program supports secondary school students who need an alternative programmatic setting outside of the traditional secondary environment. A strong focus on restorative discipline practices are in place at the alternative setting and at all of our schools. The alternative program is the Jennings Educational Training School (JETS) whose goal is to inspire academic excellence and civic responsibility. The Jennings School District engages in the learning process with honesty, creativity, dedication, and respect, and seeks to cultivate an atmosphere of freedom and trust in a safe and nurturing environment.
