We’d like to recognize our students who participated in Highland Community College Art Day. Eight talented students from Jefferson West were selected to take their artwork to this competition, representing our school with creativity and dedication. We are especially proud to share that Celia Brody received an Artistic Excellence Award for her mixed media piece titled “Chomp!.” Please join us in congratulating Celia, as well as all the students who were selected to be part of this special day. Your hard work and artistic vision make our school proud!

Hello Friends of Jefferson West High School and Community Members!
Have you ever paid a bill? Are you 18 or older? Would you enjoy a fun opportunity to help students learn real-life financial skills? If you answered yes, we’d love for you to join us as a volunteer for Reality U, our interactive financial simulation!
What is Reality U?
Students will complete a pre-survey about the lifestyle they hope to have at age 26. During the event, they’ll receive a “paycheck” based on their survey and navigate real-world expenses—like housing, transportation, phone plans, and more.
What will you do as a volunteer?
You’ll run a booth as a sales representative (housing, utilities, transportation, etc.), helping students make financial decisions. Don’t worry—all booth information and training will be provided. We just need YOU!
This is a great opportunity to connect with students and help them see how their education today impacts their financial future tomorrow.
