REGISTRATION FEES: This year, a $100.00 registration fee is required for each student participant. The fee helps cover some activities that the EJSHS sponsors do not cover (ex. field trips, over and above food and lodging, E-JSHS tee shirt, etc). JSHS funds can only be used for students. Registration fee is due when students check in the JSHS registration area. The fee is $100.00 for students and this must be in cash (US Dollars). There will be multiple students to a room. We may have to assign 3 to a room and 6 to a suite if we have an odd number of genders.

A $400.00 conference fee is required for each teacher participant since teacher costs will not be covered by JSHS. Teacher conference fees will be reimbursed through per diem when you file your travel voucher. Teachers will be 1 to a room.
