I have been at Jefferson High School for all four years and I would never have wanted to be at another school. My School is very involved with mine and other students life.

The school overall was okay there was a lot of Incidence where staff and admin really could've done a lot better at handing. The school definitely needs more security instead of locked doors . As much as the locked doors help, it's very difficult for students who have duties as student aid to go from one part of the school .

I've throughly enjoyed and loved my experience and Jefferson as I was able to strengthen my education and I was able to be apart of a large community that supported one another through the pandemic by offering food and giving the students laptops.
