This summer we are ecstatic to welcome Broadway’s current Elphaba, MARY KATE MORRISSEY, to the ‘Love, Broadway’ stage!
MARY KATE MORRISSEY is a musical theater actor, teacher, collaborator and creator who just reached her first mountaintop of playing Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway. During the pandemic she had a front row seat to the life changing power of musical theater through the creation of Double Name Witches: a virtual musical theater school that served as home to a 100+ community ages 5-30. She currently is on faculty at the prestigious Stella Adler Studio. MK spent a decade touring through 92 cities with Wicked (Elphaba), Mean Girls (Janis), and Hair (Sheila), before making her Broadway Debut last year as the Elphaba Standby. She’s passionate about the creation of new work and has had the opportunity to collaborate at the Public, Papermill Playhouse, Sundance Lab, Vineyard Arts, The O'Neill, Theatreworks Palo Alto, Portland Center Stage, Signature Theater in DC, and Denver Theater Center.
During her time working on LOVE, BROADWAY, youth artists from across the Commonwealth can attend a masterclass taught by Mary Kate! More information to come!

Is that East High's "star" counselor, Kyle, spotted at the Sadie Hawkins Masquerade dance?
This isn’t everyone who helped with Friday's Sadie Hawkins Masquerade, but it’s a great start. We are incredibly grateful to everyone at RJ Corman who contributed to the preparation, supported us throughout the event, and stayed afterwards to help wrap things up. A big thank you to the teachers and administrators who chaperoned as well!
It was amazing to bring the East and West sides together for such an important cause, Kerrington’s Heart. Normally, we’re in the same space competing, but tonight was all about unity.
Thank you to everyone who made it a success!
We always find a way in Jessamine County! Here are some East High folks selling tickets for tonight's Sadie Hawkins Dance at school today!
Get your tickets and support these artists!
We are Kentuckians and the recent flooding has devastated many in our state, including Pikeville. Coach Lawson and Mrs. Lawson from East Jessamine High are Pikeville natives, and have felt a deep calling to help the people of their hometown. We are joining their call to support one another during such a difficult time. In Jessamine County, we believe in being Connected Citizens by understanding the needs of others, giving back, and making a meaningful impact. This is more than just a collection. It’s about community, about showing compassion, and about using our resources to support those in need. We are collecting donations to support those affected, and we invite our entire Jessamine family to join us in this effort. Let’s fill a bus and share our love and kindness.
Congratulations to WJHS Lady Colts basketball coach, Matt Hilkens for being named the 12th Region Coach of the Year!

Could it be a more perfect day for a Chili Cook-Off?!? The staff at EJHS had a great time of fellowship and food for lunch today while watching the snow outside!
JCS Custodial Services took advantage of Presidents' Day staff development to receive important updates and enhance their skills - a great example of lifelong learning and continuous improvement. Thank you for your dedication to keeping our learning environments clean and safe!
East High loves supporting their Jaguars! #SpiritWeek
The EJHS counselors are visiting social studies classrooms this week to help students enter their course requests for next year! It’s amazing to see how student choices shape EJHS's master schedule and the courses they offer. Here in Jessamine County, we love giving students the power to design an academic experience that fits their goals and interests!
Spirit Week MVP? When East High said Old People theme for Spirit Week, Coach Fields took it WAY back...Ancient Rome back! Dressed as Caesar himself, he's ruling the hallways with wisdom, leadership, and maybe a little intimidation...
❤️ GO RED for Women Day!!! ❤️
Ms. Napier's Medicaid Nurse Aide students wore red on Friday and celebrated American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Day with a mini health fair!
Visitors from across the district came to the health fair and received education about heart disease and stroke. Each visitor received handouts with information to maintain a healthy heart. They also had the chance to have a set of vital signs taken by the MNA students! Visitors and students came by and signed the names of their loved ones on the Go Red heart, pledging their support to continued awareness for heart health. 🫶🏻
So proud of these amazing students for educating others and making a difference in their community!

It's Spirit Week at East High for the East VS West game on Friday. Yesterday's theme was White Lies and Mrs. Fredrick and Ms. Buss nailed it!
