St. James-Santee Elementary Middle School

We did it again! St. James-Santee Elementary-Middle School has earned Green Flag Certification through the National Wildlife Federation's EcoSchools program for the second consecutive year!

From biodiversity research and birdwatching to outdoor learning, recycling initiatives, environmental literacy projects, and community partnerships, our Hornets worked all year to make a positive impact on our school and local environment.

We are incredibly proud of our students, staff, and community partners for helping make sustainability a part of our school culture. Keep exploring, discovering, and caring for our world, Hornets! 🐝🌎

Congratulations to all of our former SJS Hornets and the Class of 2026 graduates! 🎓💙 They returned to walk the halls of SJS one last time before their high school graduation. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and excited for the bright futures ahead of them. Once a Hornet, always a Hornet! 🐝
