East Jessamine Middle School

The EJMS family is back together and counting down the days until our students are back with us! #proudtoroar 💙🐆💚

We had such a great day with our newest sixth graders in the building as they walked through their schedules and kicked off the new school year! A highlight of the day was our Rock Paper Scissors tournament, where every student got in on the action and started building community with one another! We’re so excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to see everyone back for the first day of school next week! #proudtoroar

Meet the new EJMS Cross Country Coach, Bradley Leff! I’m incredibly excited and honored to be joining East Jessamine Middle School as the Head Cross Country Coach! I’ve called Jessamine County home for a little over three years now, living here with my amazing fiancée, Maddy, and our two dogs, AJ and Daisy. I’m originally from Spencer County, where I ran cross country throughout high school—so this sport holds a special place in my heart. I’m passionate about building a team culture rooted in hard work, dedication, and teamwork—but just as importantly, I want to make sure our runners have fun and feel supported every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet our athletes and families and get this season started. Let’s make it a great one—Go Jaguars! P.S-Still looking for an assistant coach!
