Our School

Your student belongs at Jefferson Junior High School! At Jefferson, we foster a learning environment that respects all individuals and ideas. We encourage your student to participate in our various clubs, activities, special school events, intramurals, athletics, and/or performance music groups in order to build their connections to their school community and peers and further develop their sense of belonging to our Patriot community. As a school community, we are future-focused and driven to innovate and support our community in new, unique ways. Our teachers strive to provide learning experiences that challenge our students to think critically, encourage inquiry, and foster the development of the whole student, including the support of their social emotional needs. Once a Patriot, Always a Patriot. As a Patriot family, we welcome you and look forward to partnering with you to better serve our students and community.
