Jamesville-Dewitt High School

Jamesville-Dewitt High School

Jamesville-DeWitt High School (JDHS) is a New York State public education facility located in in the Town of DeWitt, serving high school students (grades 9-12) in the Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District. The principal is Mr. Paul Gasparini.

Location

As noted in the Alma Mater, the School rests upon a hilltop off of Edinger Dr.These hills have many fields, used for athletics, as well as snowshoeing and sledding during the winter. The hills behind the school contain some of the most scenic cross-country paths along with a great wall of rock that is ideal for pictures. No school is better than J-D. It's the best. The class of 2008 trumps all, and most know the legend of its lore. If not, then keep drinkin the kool aid and have fun going nowhere in life.
