Dragons in Seattle!

We are excited to host our first official reunion in Seattle!

Join JIS Head of School and Class of 1977 graduate, Maya Nelson, who will host this get-together in a west-coast city that hundreds of Dragons call 'home'.

Event Details:

• Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2026
• Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
• Location: Cactus – South Lake Union, 350 Terry Ave North, Seattle, WA 98109

All are welcome — alumni, students, parents, faculty, and staff.
Once a Dragon, Always a Dragon!

We hope that you will come and join us for drinks and snacks, but most importantly, to connect with other Dragons who are living/working in the Seattle area.

Maybe you are living in or near Seattle? Or maybe you are visiting for a holiday or work trip? Whatever brings you to the city, we hope you will join us for a couple of hours, sharing memories, making connections, and discovering the latest news as JIS approaches its 75th Birthday year (2026-2027).

Please sign up today to help us plan and share this event page with your JIS friends. We look forward to seeing you there!

In the meantime...
