Not the outcome we hoped for, but the growth of this team has been incredible! For 12 of our 17 athletes, it was their first time on the floor at high school nationals—and they delivered a routine to be proud of! 2026 season, watch out. This team is coming for you!
Join us on Tuesday for Landon's signing!
Some new school records from our Track and Field team!
As we wrap up recognizing our school counselors, we want to give a special shout out to Mrs. Zabilka who is retiring this year. She means so much to us and so much to East. Simply put, she is what it means to be a Jaguar.
From a student: She’s very understanding with almost anything. Another thing that she does better than most, is regardless of the mistake I made, she doesn’t lash out at me and is very understanding. She will definitely be missed! I graduate from East this year so we can graduate together.
From a colleague: Mrs. Zabilka has been a staunch supporter of East teachers and students for years. She is always kind and upbeat and an asset to our school. What stands out most about her is her advocacy for students with diverse needs.
From an administrator: Every time I walk into Kelly’s office or see her in the halls, I am always greeted with a warm smile and kind words. With her gentle soul and caring nature, Kelly makes everyone feel welcome. She is incredibly patient and works diligently to ensure that all students feel heard, seen, and valued. With her retiring next year, I hope Kelly knows how much she will be missed! It’s truly hard to imagine the EJHS counseling office without her in it.

This is Rachel, one of our mental health counselors. This is her first year at East and we are so grateful she joined our team! Here are what others are sharing about her!
From an administrator: Rachel has been such a great addition to our counseling team! Her calm demeanor helps her to support students when they have mental health needs while also strengthening our Tier 3 services.
From a colleague: Rachel Smith is an asset to our school because of her strong relationships with students and her ability to foster a sense of belonging. She encourages and supports students without hesitation and she is rumored to have the best snacks in town.
From a student: She’s a respectful person and very generous. If someone needs help, she takes the time to help them out in any way she can. She's honest and open. That's what you need to be a good counselor. I’m so happy shes at East.
GAME DAY!!! Let's Go Jags!!!

Happy Friday! Let's keep celebrating our school counselors!! This is Mrs. Rocco (surely you know the name by now) and she is one of our amazing school counselors! See what others have to say about her!
From an administrator: Mrs. Rocco is a pillar of support for students and staff alike. There is not a family in Jessamine county that hasn’t had a connection with her at one time or another. Her dedication to our students is second to none.
From a colleague: Since I’ve been here, she’s the person I’ve always counted on to get answers in a way that doesn’t make me feel inadequate. Her kind voice and joking manner always allows for high tense situations to be manageable.
From a student: She is always understanding and respectful. She is funny and can always brighten your day by making you laugh.
