We are thrilled to share the outstanding results from our 2025 state assessments, as our school achieved Green/High ratings across all content areas. This remarkable achievement is a powerful testament to the hard work and dedication of our exceptional students, the skill and commitment of our entire staff, and the tireless and invaluable investment our community makes in our building; today, we are especially proud to be Jaguars and a Jessamine County School. Please review the attached letter at the bottom of the post for a detailed breakdown and further information regarding the score release! #proudtoroar

We are kicking off Family Engagement Week! Today we celebrate all those things that make a family! Mrs. Borders says, "I love showing off my beautiful family! Family to us means having a safe place, having people in your corner, and having unconditional love. It means learning how to forgive and ask for forgiveness and being a part of something bigger than just our individual selves. I am thankful for my family every single day!"

Each family is unique! Who do you call family? Share about the awesome adults who show your children what family is. #KyFamEngage25
