  1. Welcome Class of 2016 “We moved to Stillwater because we knew the reputation of the elementary schools. What a gift to find that Stillwater Jr. High School was rich with academic and extracurricular offerings to meet the unique needs and aspirations of our daughter and our son. As a parent, I’ve always appreciated knowing that the teachers and staff really know my children.” SJHS Parent “I would encourage anyone to go to this school. One more reason that I like this school is that no matter who you are, and no matter what kinds of disabilities you have, you feel safe and secure at Stillwater Junior High.” SJHS Student
