Interesting Fact: Our “one of a kind” mascot’s genesis can be traced to a radio broadcast in the early 30’s, the story goes. As the football team came onto the field for the second half, the radio announcer exclaimed, “Here come the Jeffs!” (believed to be short for Jefferson County) The name stuck and they adopted the character from the Mutt & Jeff Comic strip. It is a symbol of pride and excellence!

Academic Support Program (ASP). ASP is our credit recovery program, which is available to current juniors and seniors (cohort year). This program is led by Matt Edson and provides an alternative pathway to graduation. Taylor Biehl (counselor) and Sean Molloy (Principal) identify students that are credit deficient. Mr. Edson then creates a pathway to graduation.
