Out of 588 participants from around the world, Hok is one of just 17 students selected for this prestigious honor. The Chambers Scholar Award recognizes students who demonstrate exceptional dedication, achievement, and potential in the sciences.
This remarkable recognition includes a $1,000 award for Hok and a donation made in his name to help future students attend the program. The award honors the legacy of Dr. Robert J. Chambers, a renowned Professor of Astronomy who inspired generations of young scientists.
We are incredibly proud of Hok’s hard work, curiosity, and commitment to excellence. Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment!
We are incredibly grateful for our dedicated teachers and staff who pour their hearts into our schools, our supportive families who partner with us every day, and, most of all, our amazing students who inspire us to be better.

Service, Leadership, and Heart 💙💛
Our FFA students truly went above and beyond for this year’s Food Drive. This wasn't just about collecting cans; it was a massive operation. These students demonstrated what genuine leadership looks like in action.
Because of their hustle—and the incredible generosity of our community—families right here in Jessamine County will have a wonderful meal this Thanksgiving. 🦃
To our FFA members: Thank you for pouring your hearts into this. The impact of your kindness is immeasurable!
We know that no one knows school lunch better than the students eating it. That’s why we turned to the experts—our students—to share what they love and what we can improve. Students sampled options, completed a survey, and offered thoughtful feedback to help us shape menus that truly reflect their preferences.
Thank you to our advisory group for their honesty, leadership, and collaboration!

Dr. Bill is in the house! 🐾
Coping with stress is a vital life skill, and last week EJMS therapy dog, Dr. Bill, helped lead a lesson on Healthy Coping Strategies, teaching students that there are many ways to handle big emotions—from getting active to practicing mindfulness. Students also learned about Animal-Assisted Therapy from this expert in unconditional love and how our furry friends can help lower anxiety and boost our mood.
We love seeing our district therapy dogs making a difference in the classroom! 💙

Safe travels to everyone heading to the game.
Go Colts!
Congrats to the team - way to grind out the win! 🤖🏆
As students get older, family involvement naturally starts to look a little different — but it’s just as important as ever in high school. Even if you’re not volunteering in the classroom as much, your support still makes a huge impact.
From helping teens think about their future to staying connected with what’s happening at school, engaged families are linked to higher graduation rates and increased post-secondary opportunities.
This Family and Community Engagement Week, we’re celebrating every parent, guardian, and caregiver who shows up in ways big and small. Your support matters more than you know! 💙
It's a district tradition that keeps our students safe and provides them with an unforgettable night to mark their achievement. To make this event a success, we need your voice, your ideas, and your support.
Join us at the next planning meeting and help send our seniors off in style!

It's Family and Community Engagement Week and we’re celebrating more than our relationships—we’re celebrating the results they help create. 💚
Our latest KSA results show district-wide growth, and JCS moved up a full color rating to High-Performing (Green status). That progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because our students are surrounded by a community that lifts them up.
To the parents and grandparents who volunteer, the community who invests in and shows up for our students, and the families who make education a priority: this growth is your accomplishment, too.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure every JCS student succeeds.
Full bellies and happy hearts at NES today! ❤️🦃
