School Song
High School Middle School
"Tho' years may come

and many days may pass away.

The memories of ole J'ville High

Will always stay.

That spirit, so loyal

Did honor to your name.

That gold and blue royal,

those colors always mean the same.

The friendships dear

that we made here

will still remain.

The Indians, too, they're always true

to you! (You, you, you, you)

Tho' years may come and years may go

Remember this...

We're always true to you,

Old J.H.S.!"

 "All Hail to J'ville's Honor

Best in the land.

We are United,

And for victory stand.

We sail the sea of Triumph,

o'er this great land.

We're ever fighting,

For our Dear JMS Braves!"
