Greetings Dragons,
We hope you and your family are having an amazing summer and finding time to refresh and recharge together.
Believe it or not, we are entering the time of year where we need to start preparing for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year…that includes getting ready for an exciting educational activities experience for students and parents. This email is intended to get you ready to go with important information, athlete registration, and get your family connected so you never miss an important message or event in the upcoming year.
We are excited to announce that we are now a full partner with Bound, a full-scale athletic, activities, and facilities management system. This partnership will create a seamless and engaging experience for all Johnston stakeholders – all of our schedules, ticketing, scores and standings, and fundraising opportunities will be in one location!

Tickets and Passes Information – We will utilize cashless ticketing options for the upcoming 25-26 school year. Johnston is excited to offer this option and make the gate admission process easier and more convenient for our families and students. When we say cashless, we mean cashless. You can pre-purchase your tickets or individual tickets online ahead of time, OR make use of our credit/debit card readers at the gate with no advanced purchase or account needed. No more scrambling to remember to stop by the gas station on the way to the game to get cash…use your card or Apple Pay at the gate. Click on “Ticketing” at the top of the Johnston Bound public site to begin your ticketing experience today.
Notifications – As parents or guardians of active high school students, you need to keep up with any changes or adjustments to schedules in real time. By utilizing the “Notifications” feature in Bound, you can sign up to receive notifications of changes, postponements, or cancellations in scheduled events. At the top of the Johnston Bound public site, you will notice the green “Notifications” button below our mascot. This button is located in the same location on each page as you navigate from activity to activity. If you want school-wide notifications, click on this button on the Home screen and sign up – name, email, phone number and what notifications you would like to receive. From there, navigate to the activities your student(s) are participating in or ones you want to follow and do the same. For example, if you want girls basketball notifications, you will click on Activities and Volleyball. Once you land on the volleyball home page, click on the ‘Notifications’ button and sign up for notifications specific to volleyball. Repeat this process for any activities you need to stay up to date and in the know!
Schedules, rosters, stats…and more – We would invite you to take a test drive around the site while you are there. Click on the links at the top of the page to see all of the athletic, fine art, and school activities we offer here at Johnston High School. This site will be your one-stop shop for your family’s activities, information, and resource needs.
We are excited for this upcoming school year and look forward to working with you and your student(s) to make the 2025-2026 school year the best one yet!
Please reach out to our Activities Office if you have any questions.
