The JCHS portal offers families an easy way to visualize who lives nearby and provides contact information. Secure parking in our parking garage is available to student drivers in the 11th and 12th grades at no cost.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
We are centrally located near a number of MUNI lines including 5, 22, 24, 31, 38, and 38R. Discounted BART and MUNI passes may be purchased online. Our students often form commute groups, which provides them with a way to develop supportive relationships with one another across grades.
