What did you like about attending Jesse Remington High School and why? I was particularly shaped by the leadership development opportunities, Socratic discussions, outdoor activities, hands-on learning opportunities, small class sizes, chapel services, retreats, and rigorous humanities curriculum. I also appreciated the Christian community and Christ-centered identity development. It is incredibly hard to find an educational setting that integrates faith with academia, seeing

Senior Nolan Jeanes Interviewed Señorita Nancy  Cataño  to Learn About Her Life in Christian Education “I truly believe that each one of us has been called to this particular time and place. Although I was born in Colombia, I consider the United States my country, because it is here that I have invested my resources. Coming to Jesse Remington High School after nine months of retirement is the icing on the cake, with a cherry on top. I sometimes wonder why the Lord did not cal

By Holley Hodges When our son Nathan was in 7th grade, the Director of Admissions for Jesse Remington High School came to our church to give a presentation about the school. God put it in my heart and spirit to send Nathan here, beginning in 9th grade. We had been homeschooling since 2020 using an online academy, but when it was time to decide what he wanted to do for high school, Nathan unequivocally stated he wanted to go to Jesse Remington. We went through the admissions

They reflected on: Hebrews 4:15–16 , reminding us that Christ understands our weaknesses and invites us to approach the throne of grace with confidence. Psa

By Ellie Hyvonen Another awesome day marked the debut of the Winter Enrichment Program! Camden Stockin (Class of 2022) shared a thoughtful biblical message and guided students through a rich, engaging question-and-answer session. Students also stretched their imaginations during a creative writing workshop with Aidan Manuse (Class of 2025). With warmer weather on our side, they headed outdoors to learn shelter-building skills with Isaiah Cross (Class of 2023). After lunch, we

By Ellie Hyvonen What a fantastic first day of our Winter Enrichment Program! Nine energetic 6th–9th graders braved the cold with excitement and curiosity. We explored a variety of activities: drawing hibernating animals in trees, practicing basic karate combos, and worshiping through song with the Cross sisters. We were inspired by an incredible Bible message from Mike Colombo, Class of 2018, and learned essential outdoor survival skills, including how to build a fire, from

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

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
