School Overview
The facility located at 5665 Roger I Wilson Memorial Drive in Columbia, Missouri, is the **Boone County Juvenile Justice Center (JJC)**. This facility serves as a secure detention center designed to house youth who have been placed in custody by the court system. Its primary purpose is to provide a safe, structured, and secure environment for juveniles awaiting court hearings or disposition, ensuring both public safety and the welfare of the youth being detained.

Beyond its custodial role, the center emphasizes rehabilitation and educational continuity. Because these students are often temporarily removed from their home schools, the facility coordinates with local educational resources to ensure they continue their academic progress while in custody. The programming is designed to be rehabilitative, focusing on behavioral development and providing necessary support services to help youth address the underlying issues that led to their detention, ultimately aiming to facilitate their successful reintegration back into their communities and school environments.
