East Jessamine High School

As we approach the end of our first 9 weeks, now is the perfect time to check your grades and make sure you’re on track! Every grade matters—not just for your GPA, but also for your KEES (Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship) money through KHEAA. Strong academic performance can earn you more scholarship funds for college, so stay focused, ask questions, and finish the first 9 weeks strong. Your future self—and your wallet—will thank you!

We’re proud to recognize Mahdi as one of our August Students of the Month!
