When student-athletes take time to visit elementary schools, they’re doing more than sharing high-fives and smiles—they’re showing what hard work, teamwork, and good character look like in action. 💙❤️
These moments build connections across our district and remind every student that they’re part of something bigger. A huge thank you to our connected citizens on the EJHS football and WJHS softball and baseball teams for their leadership!
From discovering Kentucky’s history at Fort Harrod, to learning about native species at Salato Wildlife Center, to experiencing our state’s signature industry at the Kentucky Horse Park — our students are making memories and deepening their understanding in hands-on, meaningful ways.
Field trips spark curiosity, connect lessons to real life, and inspire lifelong learners. 💙

Please join us in congratulating EJHS senior Hok Thai for being named a Chambers Scholar by the Summer Science Program !
Out of 588 participants from across the country, Hok is one of only 17 students selected for this prestigious award. The Chambers Scholar Award honors participants who demonstrate exceptional dedication, achievement, and potential in the sciences.
This incredible 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 countless young scientists.

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! 🌟
