West Jessamine High School

It's the Friday before Fall Break and You CAN Sit With Us! Today was an incredible display of kindness as our Sources of Strength team hosted a powerful campaign, sharing pink lemonade and open seats with everyone. 💖 We love seeing our students proactively working together to make sure every single person at WJHS feels welcome, valued, and included. Thank you to Sources of Strength for spreading such a crucial message! For more photos, click here: http://bit.ly/3INawtZ

An excellent fall concert from our Chorale and Concert choirs in front of a packed house!

Today some of our student athletes attended the HYPE conference in Lexington. There they networked with other students, learned how to maximize their leadership skills, and participated in several team activities. Our Colts are the best!
