'New' school atmosphere offers new hope at Jefferson High
A new school year brought a new look for what used to be Jefferson Elementary School and is now a high school. The new JHS is made up of students from the former alternative high schools: Trademark, Trademark West, and Colorado High. With a new building came a number of resources that had not previously been available to them, including a cafeteria, a gym, a science lab, an outdoor area for sports, and much more. And the students could not wait for the school year to start.

Maplewood changed from a middle school to an elementary; Jefferson changed from an elementary to a high school; Franklin Middle School was modified to increase its capacity; and Scott Elementary gained -- and then lost -- a new playground.
