Our final Superintendent Student Forum meetings of the year were a blast! Students provided valuable feedback to JCS Food Service leaders—sharing their favorite (and not-so-favorite) cafeteria items, tips on how we can improve, and even taste-testing potential new menu options. A big shout out to JCS Food Service for their continued efforts to make our menus both nutritious and delicious! 🍽️
We've learned so much from each other-thank you to these incredible student leaders for their insights and input on so many important topics throughout the year!

Stop by and help us celebrate Matt Labarbara's 28 years in Jessamine County!


Happy Earth Day! 🌍
Today students are celebrating our amazing planet with a sweet treat — KY Proud ice cream! 🍦Supporting area businesses is just one small way we can show love for the Earth. Let’s continue to take care of our world, one scoop (and one good choice) at a time!


Today, please join us in showing some extra appreciation for our dedicated staff who keep our schools moving forward! 🚍
Long before our hallways fill with footsteps, our drivers and monitors are already on the road. They greet with a smile, offer a listening ear, remember routines, and help start and end each day on a positive note. Through early mornings, rainy afternoons, and everything in between, they make sure each student gets to school and back home safe and sound.
We're so grateful for our amazing Transportation Team - they're at the foundation of everything that we do. 💛
