Then and now! 💛 Thank you to McAdory High School graduate, Janice Rogers for serving as grand marshal at McAdory's homecoming parade! The jackets were buzzing with pride to have such a beloved alum take on this role! The first photo is of Janice attending homecoming as a student, and the second is her leading the parade on Thursday!


We are SO excited to share that the Jefferson County School District has been awarded the Blue Cross Blue Shield Be Healthy Grant for the VERY first time!🎉👏 Mr. Christopher Reeves, Physical Education Supervisor for Jefferson County Schools, says, “This is a meaningful moment for our district, as it reflects the dedication of so many who believe in the power of physical education to shape healthier lives for our students.” Mr. Reeves adds that this grant will provide everything from exercise bikes to agility ladders, benefiting and inspiring students and educators.
