This upcoming weekend on the river, the James M Hill Tommie’s host the Harbour View Vikings. This is a must win game to keep the playoff chance alive for the Tommie’s as they fell last week to the St. Stephens Spartans in a 49-0 game. It was a hard fought game as the Tommie’s held off the Spartans to no points in the first 12 minute of play. The Spartans then busted open the score with 3 touch downs in the second quarter making it a 21-0 game after 24 minutes of play.
On the last week of September the Tommie’s bays baseball team entered their zones tournament on Friday September 29th. They opened the tournament with a 12pm game at ironmen against Tracadie. Evan Savoy got the start on the mound he would go on to last 5 innings then brother Ryan would take the mound for the 6th just before the boys would 10 run rule mercy rule Tracadie 14-4. After a 2 hour break the boys would find themselves back on the field but now they had to face ESN.
The James M Hill boy’s football team traveled to Simmonds High last weekend to take on the Seabees in a David vs goliath match up for the upper hand on making playoffs. The boys started out strong, after letting just one touch down our tommie’s answered back right away with a huge touch down by Jared Macdonald in the end of the first quarter. Simmonds then rallied back putting up another touchdown in the second quarter making it a 14-6 game after the first half. The second half started off very strong for both teams.

On Wednesday October 4, 2017, The TADD group and Interact group of James M Hill Memorial High School joined forces to fundraise money to help TADD (Teens Against Distracted Driving). Their efforts were to raise money for the setup, props, and decorations of a haunted house in the school. The haunted house will be taking place on October 27th and October 28th from 7:00-10:00, so come out if you dare to be scared.
There was a great hole created in the community of Miramichi on Wednesday, October 5th, 2017. A one of a kind man, Lloyd Cameron, a former teacher, mentor, volunteer, and respected individual tragically passed away unexpectedly at the age of 67.
What makes James M Hill the best high school in Miramichi…? Originality. And recently we have been challenged by our rivals across the river, Miramichi Valley High School. On Wednesday October 11 2017, there was a feeling of pain throughout the school as we discovered our ideas had been stolen. Wellness Wednesday which was our glorious brain child here at JMH was ripped off by our counterpart. Many students the following day went to school aghast and confused on how our rivals were able to so effortlessly take our ideas.
Grade 9 students will begin on Tuesday, September 5th at Boomerang Day...a great chance to meet your teachers, find your classes, get an introduction to JMH and learn what it means to be a Tommie! Also, enjoy a free BBQ lunch compliments of your Student Council.
