• Students who are leaving class without permission, or roaming the hall will be sent home and suspended

These policies are in place to minimize distractions and disruptions from learning, as well as to make Jefferson a safe learning environment.

Welcome, Jaguars!

This past year, we were able to graduate our twelfth class at Jefferson High School and are very excited about the beginning of our thirteenth school year at JHS. As we begin our new year, we hope that you and your student will help JHS continue with its rich tradition of academic excellence and school pride for all to follow. An exceptional faculty and staff are looking forward to working with each of you and your students and are excited to establish and achieve your goals and aspirations for your child. Please take time to review the school handbook carefully that is available on our website. It contains important information that can be helpful to your whole family. The handbook includes information that pertains to Jefferson High School student policies and District 6 board policies. Please make sure to take note of our new 4-day school week and extended bell schedule.

I also want to remind you that our teachers, counselors, and administrators are available to provide assistance. Your questions or concerns are always welcome. As your student works through their years at JHS, I challenge every student to set rigorous goals. In accomplishing these exceptional goals, your child will make a real difference in our world and set the pace for developing a high school culture that will be second to none. 

We would also like to invite any parent to get involved in our school and the many programs that we have available at Jefferson High. One way to be involved is to serve on our District Accountability Committee as well as the School Accountability Committee. These committees allow parents and community members to be informed and have a voice in changes to our school's programming and budgeting. If you are interested in becoming a member of either committee, please contact me at 970-348-1609 to receive the dates and times of meetings. 

In closing, I want to wish each of you the very best as you become part of the Jaguar family at Jefferson High School.
