Congratulations to our JES students who were chosen to serve on the Student Lighthouse Team for the 2022-2023 school year. They submitted a strong application, received a solid faculty/staff recommendation, and their ability to explain how you will make an impact on our school helped in this decision.
The Student Lighthouse Team is a group of students representing each classroom in our school who synergize to have a positive impact on students, staff, families, and the community. #jeffersoncusd#1
