Every Tuesday and Thursday after school from 4:10 PM to 5:00 PM, West Memorial Junior High offers our Jag Academy Program. Any student who needs assistance or tutoring in science, math, reading, writing, or social studies may attend the after school program. A select group of WMJH teachers will be ready to assist your student each Tuesday and Thursday.

Students must bring their work with them and they must be in the LGI classroom by 4:10 PM to enter the tutorials.

Late bus service is provided at 5 PM for students who are eligible to ride the Katy ISD busses. If students are not riding the bus, then their ride must be here at 5 PM and can wait in the front WMJH parking lot.

We encourage you to talk to your student about taking advantage of the tutoring in our Jag Academy Program.
