JMS would like to welcome and introduce our new bookkeeper, Mrs. Rhonda Hawes.
My name is Rhonda Hawes and I’m excited to start a new adventure this year at JMS. I’ve worked for ACPSD for 21 years, starting at Hammond Hill, then Redcliffe and, for the past 17 years, at Silver Bluff; as a SPED aide, Lab Proctor and Bookkeeper.
I grew up in the New Ellenton/Jackson area and graduated from SBHS, as did my son and siblings. I live in Jackson with my husband of 33 years, Mike, and our spoiled but adorable rescue puppy, Sox.
I enjoy camping, reading, and cheering on the Auburn tigers when I have the time. But my favorite “to do” is spending time with our son, Chase, when he comes home from Colorado.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns about school fees, which can be paid on the Parent Portal, and now by phone at 803-471-2237. I’m here to help!

When middle school students stay organized, they’re not just keeping their binders neat—they’re building habits that lay the foundation for academic success and lifelong responsibility.
Ms. Neville’s AVID binder spot checks yielded amazing results! Great job, kiddos—keep it up!
