Congratulations to the custodial crew from JCTC for winning the high attendance challenge this past month. Well done!
Congratulations to West Jessamine High School student, Allie Keck, who won the High School Best of Show for the entire state of Kentucky for her painting! Her work was considered Best in Show over all two dimensional categories. Painting, drawing, digital art, photography, printmaking, and graphic design. In sports terms, it is the equivalent of winning an individual state title in wrestling or swimming not just for one weight class or event, but besting them all. Basically she was named Mr./Mrs. Basketball of KY for Art.
Let's Go, Allie!
Let's Go, Allie!
Congratulations to our 2026 Arts Star Teachers!

📣 National Speech-Language Pathologist Day! 🗣️✨
Today, we are throwing a massive shout-out to the incredible Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) across JCS!
Every day, our SLPs work tirelessly behind the scenes to give our students the ultimate superpower: their voice. From helping a kindergartener master their speech sounds to finding creative communication tools for non-verbal students, our SLPs ensure that every single child in our district is heard, understood, and valued.
To all of our SLPs, thank you for your patience, your expertise, and your massive hearts. You make our schools a better place to learn! 🎉

🌟 Celebrating Our Food Service Superheroes! 🌟
To the amazing team who preps healthy meals before breakfast and nourishes an entire school by lunch—we are incredibly grateful for our food service superheroes! 👏
They start their days early to ensure every student is fueled, focused, and ready to learn. In our deeply connected school family, they do so much more than make food—they serve up smiles and create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone knows they belong.
