By Amy Uscinski What have you been up to since graduation?  I started working for Whole Foods Market when I was just a sophomore in high school. After graduating from Jesse Remington High School, I opted to continue my career with Whole Foods. About a year after I graduated, I applied to be a supervisor for Customer Service and E-commerce. Since then, I have moved up and am now an Associate Team Leader. Being a leader for my team has been extremely rewarding. This year I have

By Jeff Philbrick Junior and Senior students engaged in a two week deep dive into the United States Constitution, featuring a simulated debate. After a review of the War years, an analysis of the failed Articles of Confederation, and a look into the stressful yet important summer of 1787, they were ready to enact the state conventions for ratification of the US Constitution. This was of particular interest to the students, considering our great state of NH was the deciding st

By Ellie Hyvonen Sweet memories were made Friday evening with Miss Ellie and the Dignified Girls group! Many thanks to the wonderful Mrs. Rairden for allowing us to use her beautiful home. We enjoyed a great fellowship, cookie decorating, laughter, a Yankee swap, and cozy Christmas movies. Not everything is stressful during portfolio week. In fact, it’s possible to have a whole lot of fun!

You may be asking, “What are portfolios?!” A portfolio is a series of work, papers, tests, and presentations, completed by each student as a culmination of the semester’s work. During portfolio season, regular classes pause, giving students dedicated time to prepare for exams and complete their portfolio pieces under the guidance and feedback of their teachers. This process helps students build time-management skills, set priorities, and take ownership of their learning throu

Our Sentinels kicked off the season on Sunday with a CYO league matchup against our long-time rivals, the Sainte Marie Rim Reapers. The game stayed tight through the first half, but the Reapers pulled ahead in the third quarter. In the final minutes of the fourth, the Sentinels battled back to narrow the deficit to just four points, but ultimately couldn’t complete the comeback this time. Come cheer on the team this Sunday, December 14th at 1:30pm when we play the St. Stanisl

On Friday, our students and faculty spent the afternoon skating—and falling and laughing—at the JFK Memorial Coliseum in Manchester, NH.  Afterwards, we gathered at FaithBridge Church in Manchester for a festive Christmas party featuring Chipotle-style bowls, plenty of cookies, and a craft station where students made ornaments for the large Christmas tree (thank you Plummer Christmas Tree Farm!) located at the JRHS Rivendell Pavilion! Two seniors even designed a comical trivi

By Coach Doug Langlois The 2025 season was a unique chapter for Jesse Remington soccer. After finishing the previous year as league champions, we entered the new season with uncertainty. We had graduated many strong seniors and lost several additional players, leaving us unsure if we would even have enough athletes to field a team. But God is good. He not only provided enough players, but blessed us with a potent starting lineup. Four homeschooled players joined the squad, se

What do you love about JRHS and why? I love so much about JRHS! First, the community has been so welcoming and the older students have been very intentional about including our children. The teachers have also been so helpful and willing to answer all my questions and uncertainties as we've learned how the school works. They've also been so helpful and patient with our children as they've adjusted to in-classroom education from homeschooling. Why did you choose JRHS for your

Friday, November 14th, marked the first Dignified Girls gathering of the Jesse Remington girls! We had a lovely time sharing tea, homemade cider and hot chocolate alongside yummy homemade treats! Piper Loveless and Ellie Hyvonen hosted a conversation about anxiety and how this experience is actually a way that we can connect closer with the Lord and learn to regulate our nervous systems!  Thank you to all who came and we are so excited for a Christmas themed party next!

By Carter Martens Jesse Remington's Almost Men ministry's kickoff was a HUGE success!  God really moved through the group which consisted of current students, alumni, faculty, and other adult mentors investing their time and wisdom into the mission of JRHS.  We enjoyed snacks, with some of us even "enjoying" the Hot-Ones Challenge, fellowship, burning things, and good reflection on what it means to be men of God.  Everyone was encouraging, lifting one another up and carrying
