Dear Jefferson Community,

As we near the end of another remarkable school year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the journey we've undertaken together and express my gratitude for your unwavering support, dedication, and resilience.

This year has presented us with numerous challenges, but through our collective efforts, we have not only persevered but thrived. Our students have shown remarkable resilience, adapting to new learning environments and embracing change with courage and determination. Our teachers and staff have demonstrated extraordinary commitment, creativity, and flexibility in ensuring the continuity of education and the well-being of our students. And our parents and guardians have been steadfast partners, supporting our efforts every step of the way.

As we look back on the accomplishments and memories of this school year, let us celebrate the achievements of each and every member of our Jefferson family. Whether it be academic successes, artistic endeavors, athletic triumphs, or acts of kindness and service, each contribution has made a meaningful difference in shaping our community and enriching the lives of those around us.

As we bid farewell to the school year, let us also look forward with hope and optimism to the opportunities that lie ahead. While we may face uncertainties and challenges in the future, I am confident that together, we will continue to inspire, empower, and support one another in our pursuit of excellence and fulfillment.

To our graduating seniors, as you prepare to embark on the next chapter of your lives, know that you carry with you the knowledge, skills, and values instilled during your time at Jefferson. You are prepared to face whatever challenges come your way, and we are immensely proud of all that you have achieved.

In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every member of the Jefferson community for your dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to excellence. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your principal, and I look forward to the continued growth and success of our school in the years to come.

Wishing you all a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer break. May it be filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories with family and friends.

Warm regards,

Drake Shelton
