Jefferson High School is a great school with amazing staff! Your teachers want to help you succeed in everything you do, and they provide many opportunities to do so. Students at Jefferson typically love the school and the atmosphere. I am fortunate to have been a Dragon for my high school years, and I am going to miss this school. However, I have a lot of happy memories from my time here that I can carry with me the rest of my life.
Jefferson High school is a great school! They take great pride in Academics as well as sports, and there are many opportunities that can be taken advantage of to build character. The teachers are wonderful and truly care to help students that may struggle and make sure that no one is left behind. Students take great pride in the school events and are always representing the school in red white and blue! Everyone in the administration is nice and they always there guide students when needed. As a senior, Jefferson High School has overall been a great experience and I would not want to go to another High School over it. With all the memories I have made at Jefferson High School, I would not change a thing!
In 2019 I moved to Jefferson from a 5A school that was very large and not personable at all. Once I moved to Jefferson It really opened my eyes to a "small town" community. Everyone in Jefferson was beyond welcoming and made every step of the way so easy for me. The teachers go above and beyond to make a connection with everyone of their students and I have been more than pleased. There isn't much that I would say that I would change about this school. I am currently an enrolled Junior at this school and the ONLY thing "bad" I have to say is the afternoon parking. It can be a nightmare sometimes but it is manageable. That would be my only "complaint". Other than that Jefferson High School is great and I would start over and go here all over again.
