Jefferson County October Spotlight

Over the past three years, Jefferson County has shown incredible growth and commitment to serving its students through Communities in Schools. What began with just three schools and three site coordinators has now grown into nine schools with a dedicated team of eleven site coordinators. This steady growth has been made possible through the expansion grant, which Jefferson County has strategically used each year to broaden its reach and meet the needs of more students and families. The county’s progress reflects its strong community partnerships and a shared commitment to student success. The CIS team in Jefferson County has been able to provide consistent and personalized support to hundreds of students within the county, helping students overcome barriers and thrive academically and personally. Jefferson County has a therapy dog through Friends with Paws program. Comet is at Jefferson High School, and he has been a wonderful addition to the team.
