"Kellie Sherwood is a phenomenal teacher! She truly cares not only about her students in class, but out of class as well. Kellie is also a great collaborator.

Kaidence stands out as a student who truly values connection, collaboration, and community. He approaches every task with focus and determination, but what makes him exceptional is the way he lifts others up along the way.

We’re proud to celebrate his positive impact at East Jessamine High!
