She's been a part of our East family for a while now, but she will now join us at East High! Two years ago, Mrs. Lawson and her family moved to the area to be closer to relatives. Since then, she has been at East Middle, while her husband, Coach Lawson, has been at East High, where he teaches Social Studies and is the Head Coach of Baseball. Mrs. Lawson is thrilled to transition to the high school level and join our team! She is passionate about helping students and providing them with as many opportunities as possible. Mrs. Lawson loves spending time with her family (and we do too), going to the lake, fishing, and coaching East Middle Cheer. The Lawsons have four daughters: Emily, who will be attending EKU in the fall, Katie, who will be a sophomore, Abby, who will be a freshman, and Molly, who will be going into the 8th grade. Mrs. Lawson is eager to meet each and every one of you and embark on this new journey together. She is most excited about creating new relationships with her students and colleagues. Join us in welcoming Mrs. Lawson to East High!

Not too much longer until our highly anticipated annual Jaguar Orientation, and we can hardly contain our excitement! Time reconnect and get ready for the new school year. Our Chromebooks are prepped and ready to be picked up, ensuring you're fully equipped for the school year ahead. Don't forget to grab your exclusive house gear to show off your Jaguar pride. Parking passes and senior t-shirts will also be available during orientation. There are plenty of other housekeeping items to take care of, plus you get to see your teachers! Orientation hours are flexible, so come when it suits you best. You don't have to stay for the entire event (unless you want to). 😉 Remember, this is just the beginning of an amazing journey together. Let's make memories, forge friendships, and create a year that will be talked about for years to come! We can’t wait to see our Jags!
More reminders about the start of the 2024-2025 School Year! Our custodial staff has been working diligently to prepare our school and grounds for our Jaguar family! Our campus is such a beautiful place for our students and staff to grow and learn together. Thank you to our dedicated custodians who work tirelessly behind the scenes so when our Jaguars return they are welcomed to a safe and refreshed space!
Ohmygoodness!!! It’s another full circle moment here at East Jessamine High School as we welcome back the one and only, Baileigh Adkins as a social studies teacher! She recently graduated from EKU in the spring and completed her last semester of student teaching at EJHS. She has shared that she loved the students she taught in the spring, and the atmosphere at East is incomparable to any other school she has been at before! While she has been away from East, Baleigh has accomplished so much! She was on the EKU CO-ED cheerleading team for three years and has two National Championships. She has also spent the last couple of summers working at North Central 4-H camp, teaching and connecting with campers all across the state! She is so excited to come back home and give back to the school and community that gave so much to her. We look forward to seeing her this fall, but until then, she will enjoy being outside, going to the beach, taking trips to Disney World, and taking plenty of naps. Welcome back, Baileigh. We’ve missed you and are so glad you’re home.
