Office hours are adjusted for the season, and we’ll be closed June 10 through July 6—see this week’s schedule below.

Our group had the opportunity to visit the Colosseum, one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks!

Great information!

Did you know? Students ages 18 and under can access free summer meals across Colorado Springs. Since JICS is part of three different districts, we’re sharing their information here, plus a few additional districts that support many of our students.

A special moment from just a couple of weeks ago… and now they’re officially graduates.
Our seniors walked the halls one final time in their caps and gowns, led by their principal, who is retiring at the end of this school year.
Yesterday, they crossed the stage as graduates. 🎓
Congratulations to the Class of 2026—and best wishes to Mr. Downing, who has made a lasting impact on this school community.

We are so THANKFUL to Northwestern Mutual Colorado Springs for their support of our GREAT school by sponsoring a hole for the Power Technical 6th Annual Golf Tournament!!! Check out the services they provide at their website:
