      Jerome High School is located in Jerome, Idaho, the county seat of Jerome County, in south-central Idaho just north of Twin Falls. The Jerome School District consists of six public schools in grades K-12, including three elementary schools, a middle school, and an alternative school. Jerome High School competes in the "4A" division in the Idaho High School Activities Association.

      The Jerome High School Band program is a three-legged stool with a balance of marching, symphonic, and pep band performances (including our fine color guard program). In addition, there are three feeder bands in the middle school: the Concert (8th grade), Intermediate (7th grade), and Beginning Bands (6th grade). There is also a guitar program at JHS, JMS, and Summit Elementary School.
