We’re thrilled to share that East Jessamine High has been selected to participate in The Kentucky Performing Arts Bradley Awards—think of it as the “minor league” of Broadway!

This incredible opportunity will help EJHS students grow as performers, fuel their passion for the arts, and push their creativity to new heights. Trained theatre professionals will attend EJHS's shows, score performances, and provide feedback to help students work toward their goals in theatre excellence.

We’re so proud of our Jaguar Theatre family and can’t wait to see them shine! 🌟

Our students and staff continue to make a powerful impact! Warner Elementary's Coins for Cancer project raised $2,583.57 this year for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to support pediatric cancer research. 💛

Over the past five years, Warner students and families have donated more than $14,000 in honor of former students who bravely battled cancer — a beautiful example of compassion in action.

A heartfelt thank-you to Mrs. Meeker for leading this meaningful project each year and to every student and family who contributed to making a difference! ❤️#WeAreJessamine #KindnessInAction

"Where do I sit?" It's a question that can cause a lot of stress.

Today, our amazing WJHS Sources of Strength students answered that question with a powerful invitation: "You Can Sit With Us." They encouraged everyone to make room, meet someone new, and share a smile.

It’s a beautiful reminder that small acts of kindness create a big sense of belonging. Huge shoutout to these student leaders for their incredible compassion and leadership! 💙 #YouCanSitWithUs #SourcesOfStrength

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.

💡 Did you know? JCS high schools offer students the chance to get a head start on college through dual credit courses!

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

These EJHS history students are exploring the lifestyle and social structure of the American Colonies and using reflection activities to explore further. Deeper learning is a win-win for now AND later, preparing for college, career, and life.
