Mexia Junior High School

Hands-on learning in action! 📊🐾 Our 6th grade math students recently tackled number lines using a whole-class interactive lesson — getting up, moving, collaborating, and truly visualizing math concepts together. Engagement was high, conversations were strong, and learning was happening all around the room! Love seeing our MJH Blackcats thinking, participating, and growing every day. #MJHBlackcats #MathInAction #StudentEngagement

Our Student Council and NJHS students recently came together for a Choose Love community service project, showing what leadership, kindness, and service truly look like in action. From planning to giving back, these students continue to prove that character and compassion matter just as much as academics. Thank you to our sponsor and students for leading with heart and making our community stronger. #ChooseLove #MJHBlackcats #StudentLeadership #ServingOthers

🔬 Our 8th graders turned into real-life scientists today! Hands-on, minds-on learning as students explored Newton’s Laws of Motion—testing forces, motion, and cause & effect through experiments and teamwork. Learning like this builds curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence one experiment at a time. We love seeing our kids ask questions, test ideas, and think like scientists. 🚀 #BlackcatPride #8thGradeScience #NewtonInAction #LearningByDoing
