Culture Eats Structure for Lunch!

Joyner's not just a school, it's a community. It's not a place to be for six years of your life, it's a place that will change the rest of your life.

Culture Eats Structure For Lunch






What Does It Mean???  It means that an organizations culture, and the people who make it up, are much more important to the success of the organization than the structure of the organization's work.  Over the past seven years, our school has been recognized locally for our Spanish language program,  nationally as one of the country's best magnet schools, and internationally as a leader in global outreach with projects in Belize and Haiti   What makes all of this possible?  An Amazing group of Faculty, Parents, and Students dedicated to making our world a better place!  From the Amazing Teachers that we recruit and retain, to the dedicated parents of our PTA, to the creative, caring, and intelligent students we hope to develop, we have developed a tremendous family culture.  We Are a Family!
