Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Jehue Middle School—home of the Jaguars, where we live out our theme of "Jehue L.O.V.E. : Learning, Opportunities, Validation, and Expectations".  Each day, we will strive to create an environment where all students are empowered to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

As we begin this new school year, we are building on the foundation of remarkable achievements.  Over the past several years, our school has been recognized both nationally and statewide for its excellence.  We are proud to be named a "Schools to Watch" campus—placing us among the top 3% of middle schools in the nation for having the systems, supports in place, and rigorous instruction that help all students succeed.  Jehue has also been honored as a California Gold-Level Green School, and an AVID Schoolwide Site of Distinction, demonstrating our commitment to environmental sustainability and college readiness.  Our positive school culture has earned us PBIS Gold and Platinum Awards, and we proudly serve as the first secondary Dual Immersion Language Program in Rialto Unified School District—preparing our multilingual eighth graders for success in both high school and beyond.

At Jehue Middle School, we know that success is a partnership.  We deeply value the collaboration between school and home, and we invite families to be active participants in the Jaguar journey.  Through your involvement and support, we can ensure every student is seen, supported, and held to high expectations.  As your new principal, I am committed to being a visible instructional leader.  I will be in classrooms regularly—engaging with students, supporting teachers, and reinforcing our school wide goals.  Our assistant principals will do the same.  While this may occasionally delay our availability for drop-in visits, our outstanding office team is ready to assist you and will make sure your concerns are addressed in a timely manner.

Let’s work together to make this school year our best yet.  With Jehue L.O.V.E. as our guide and the determination to Get Better Every Day, there’s no limit to what we will achieve.

In partnership,
Germaine A. Gray
Principal, Jehue Middle School

Greetings Jaguar Family!

I would like to welcome back all returning students, new students, family members, and our community. My name is Angel Arratia, Assistant Principal and newest addition to the Jehue Middle School family. Let me also take this time to thank our students, parents, teachers, and staff members for their resiliency, patience, and understanding during these unprecedented times. My family consists of my wife and two daughters. One of my daughters is entering her Senior year and the other one is starting Sixth Grade, so I totally understand the challenges we face.

I look forward to establishing a partnership that will benefit your student’s experience in middle school. I believe my experience in high school for these past 15 years, twelve years as an English teacher, Avid Coordinator, Head Varsity Baseball Coach, and most recently my last three years as BARR Coordinator which consisted of overseeing all ninth graders will greatly benefit our students here at Jehue. There will be many opportunities for parental involvement and I invite you to join us as a valuable member to our school community. I want to reassure you that together we will continue to give our students the best safe learning environment that will develop their agency as critical thinkers and problem solvers. As a proud new Jaguar, I welcome you once again.

Hello, Jehue Middle School community! My name is Yolanda Smith, and I am proud to serve as the Vice Principal of our school. This is my 11th year at Jehue Middle School and my 12th year working within the Rialto Unified School District.

With three adult children of my own, two of whom attended school here in Rialto, I understand the importance of a strong, supportive, and positive educational experience. My commitment is to work closely with our families, serve our community, and ensure that every student at Jehue feels valued, safe, and encouraged to achieve their best.

I look forward to continuing our journey together, supporting our students, and contributing to the vibrant, welcoming environment that makes Jehue Middle School so special.

Let’s Go Jaguars!
