Did you know? The last time the Jessamine County Board of Education increased the property tax rate was back in 2017–18 and since then, the rate has stayed the same or gone down. Next year's rate has been set at 67.8—the same as 2025.
We are committed to continuing to provide safe, modern schools and quality learning for every student—while being responsible stewards of your tax dollars.

Dual credit lets students:
✅ Earn college credit while in high school
✅ Save money on tuition later
✅ Build confidence for success after graduation
