Thanks to our amazing partners at P. S. Jones Alumni, Incorporated, DigitalNC is pleased to announce that a brand new (but still quite old!) issue of The Johisco is now available online! This issue dates all the way back to 1967 and will be the sixth issue hosted by DigitalNC, joining its 1968 sister-issue. These yearbooks chronicle the experience of students and faculty at P. S. Jones High School.

P. S. Jones High School, formerly located in Washington, N.C., was a historically African-American school that provided education to Washington County throughout much of the twentieth century. The school, which was originally a Rosenwald school, provided an essential educational service until 1969 when desegregation became law. This 1967 issue records some of the last students to attend the school shortly before it’s closure.
