Our high school juniors are preparing to take the ACT next Tuesday. This morning, CRA Kelly Helton trains EJHS Social Studies teachers on test administration.
Relationships are key for the 2023-2024 East Jessamine High School Teacher of the Year Ms. Chelsea Hinton. This outstanding educator fosters a genuine connection with her students and is always there when they need her. She’s described as an empathetic listener and life coach who inspires those around her to “pass it on” and be there for others as well. Her classroom is a place where students are challenged to grow and connect their knowledge to real world applications. If Ms. Hinton sounds pretty special, that’s because she is and we’re lucky to have her in JCS. Congratulations, Chelsea! #WeAreJessamine
