West Jessamine High School

It truly takes a whole community to help students grow, thrive, and discover their paths to success. At WJHS, we’re grateful for the many partners who show up for our Colts year after year—providing resources, opportunities, support, and meaningful engagement that make our students’ experiences even richer. 🐴✨

Who’s someone in your community who supports student success? What do you appreciate about them? Let’s celebrate the people and organizations who make a difference every day. 💛🤝

Got plans Friday night? Now you do! Come out and support our boys and coaches on the field in the ELITE 8 at Pulaski Co High School at 7pm. Be there! #coltpride

Need a ride to the game Friday?

Yesterday may have been dreary, but that didn't stop some of our SOS students from spreading joy at arrival with free fist bumps and high fives! These three...ya gotta love 'em! 🩵❤️

Advocacy means cheering on our students, lifting them up, and helping them recognize their own strengths. 💪 High school students thrive when they know their families are in their corner!
How does your family advocate for and celebrate your student’s successes—big goals, daily wins, or steps toward the future? Share your ideas with us! #KyFamEngage25 #WJHS

Graduate Profile Student Spotlight: Responsibility
Cassidy is consistently showing responsibility outside of our building and with the elementary students she works with! Way to go!

Have you started the post-secondary conversation with your WJHS student—college, workforce, military, or technical training? What part of the discussion felt exciting, and what parts were challenging? Exploring options together and shared responsibility helps students make confident, informed decisions about their future path. Share how your family is navigating the next steps! #KyFamEngage25 #WJHS

🎉 WJHS KSA Highlights are in! 🎉
We’re excited to share our Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) highlights from last school year and celebrate the incredible growth and hard work of our students and staff!

From academic gains to strong progress across content areas, these results reflect a school community that shows up, pushes forward, and strives for excellence every single day. 💪📚 We’re proud of what we accomplished together—and even more energized for the year ahead. #coltpride

Congrats to Joey Tucker on signing with UNC Asheville!

Staying connected makes a big difference in helping our Colts grow and thrive. With everyone’s busy schedules, what’s one way you keep open, two-way communication with your teen?
#KyFamEngage25

At WJHS, we know the high school years are all about growth—both for students and their families. These are the years when you're shaping the relationship you’ll carry with your young adult long after graduation. How can you support and guide them while also helping them build independence?

Mr. Tyler's JAG classes took a trip to UK today for a tour of campus! It was a beautiful day and the students were able to visit the library, renovated dorms, lecture halls, and even stopped by Champions Kitchen for lunch. These types of experiences are critical for showing students what their next steps could look like!

It's basketball time in Colt Country! Don't miss out on COLT MADNESS - tonight!
