Dear Jayhawk-Linn Families and Staff,

Today we experienced a fire alarm activation at Jayhawk-Linn caused by a microwave incident. I am pleased to share that all students and staff responded exactly as they should—everyone exited the building promptly and followed directions safely and calmly.

We are grateful for the quick response of our staff and students who assisted in ensuring everything was secure. After the building was cleared, students and staff were able to return inside and resume normal activities.

Safety is always our top priority, and today’s response demonstrated that our procedures work and that our school community takes them seriously.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Julie Samuels - Principal

Jayhawk-Linn High School Senior Eleanor Vaughn Awarded Prestigious Rudd Foundation Scholarship

Mound City, KS — Jayhawk-Linn High School senior Eleanor Vaughn was honored in a surprise ceremony attended by students, staff, and her family as the recipient of the highly competitive Rudd Foundation Scholarship.

Vaughn, who plans to attend Kansas State University in the fall to pursue a degree in speech pathology, was selected as one of only 50 scholars from a pool of approximately 700 applicants statewide.

The Rudd Foundation Scholarship is a renewable, four-year award that covers any remaining cost of attendance after other financial aid and scholarships are applied. Covered expenses include tuition and fees, books and supplies, and room and board. By removing financial barriers to higher education, the scholarship empowers recipients to achieve excellence in college and prepare to become leaders in their professions and communities.


Jayhawk-Linn High School celebrates Eleanor’s achievement and looks forward to the positive impact she will make in the future.

JL Act
Global Medical Response, Inc. requested and received approval from our Board of Education to use the back area near JLHS as a Life Flight landing zone. This request was made due to safety concerns at the previous landing location, where power lines are located too close to the landing site.

The site has been used twice in the last week. Each time, the Life Flight team has notified our office, and we have promptly communicated with staff to ensure students remain safely inside during the landing.

Thank you for your support as we prioritize safety.
