As October is National Principals Month, we are using this opportunity to spotlight our building leaders.
Mrs. Mindy Woelfel, Grafton Elementary
What was your favorite subject when you were in school? My favorite classes were always the ones that involved business and accounting. I loved learning how things work behind the scenes and understanding the numbers.
What’s something about you that students might be surprised to learn? Students might be surprised to learn that when I'm not at school, I love spending time on the river and boating. It's a great way to unwind and recharge.
What’s your go-to snack or drink during the school day? Green tea and coffee
If you could give one piece of advice to students, what would it be? My advice would be to be kind, work hard, and never stop learning. These three things will serve you well no matter what path you choose in life.
What’s your favorite part of being a principal? The best part of my job is the energy and creativity of the students. Every day is different, and I get to be inspired by their curiosity and resilience. I love seeing the world through their eyes—it keeps me grounded and reminds me why we do what we do.
Thanks, Mrs.Woelfel, for being a wonderful leader and mentor to your Panthers!

Safe Food Specialist, Mrs. Linda Petterson, was a week-long guest instructor in Nutrition & Culinary Arts classes at JCHS. Students then took the Safe Food Handler's Exam. We have noticed a genuine shift in the confidence of the 70+ students who earned this valuable employability certification.
If your place of employment is hiring and would like us to advertise to our students at JCHS via email, we are happy to do so!
