It's Read Across America week! Let's hear some recommendations from Amber!
Today, we want to give a huge THANK YOU to our incredible JCS maintenance team! Their dedication keeps our school safe, running smoothly, and looking its best every single day. From early mornings to late nights, they work tirelessly behind the scenes to support our students, staff, and community.
We appreciate everything you do to make East Jessamine a great place to learn and grow!
We were almost at our goal today! Four out of five days isn't bad! There's a lot happening next week. Let's be sure to show up, Jaguars!
Georgetown College is looking for highly motivated students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior years of high school to attend PAEMS (Pre-Academic Experience in Math and Science) Camp, our residential 8-day program in mathematics and science. Participants preview college life as they work alongside Georgetown faculty to explore advanced topics in math and science. For over 35 years, high school students have attended this camp on our beautiful campus to take various science classes with college professors as well as explore the Bluegrass and surrounding regions. Besides offering a curriculum in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Computing, and Environmental Science, we also take the students on field trips such as: Cincinnati Zoo, Red River Gorge, MacAdam Observatory, Toyota Manufacturing, and more. The $500 tuition includes housing and meals and grants are available! Students who attend this camp will also receive a scholarship if they choose to attend Georgetown College!
The camp is June 22 - 29, 2024. Click here for more information! https://www.georgetowncollege.edu/paems
Our photography students are diving into the creative process, crafting their contact sheets to refine their best shots! From framing to lighting, they’re learning how to analyze their images and select the most compelling compositions. A contact sheet is more than just a collection of photos! It's a visual story of trial, error, and discovery. We can't wait to see their finished product!
What a great way to start our day! Our FFA is fueling our teachers with an appreciation breakfast! Happy Friday!

EJHS wouldn’t be the same without our incredible substitute teachers who step in with patience, dedication, and a heart for our students. This is Ms. Jodi Whitsitt, one of our many substitutes who go above and beyond to support our classrooms. Her kindness, flexibility, and commitment to student success make a lasting impact every day! We’re grateful for all of our substitute teachers who help keep our school running smoothly. Next time you see one in the hallways, give them a big thank you!
