In recent years teachers have also participated in internships at area businesses and attended workshops to update their teaching skills and methods. Our goal is to ensure these connections bring success for Jefferson students. Producing this success involves eliminating some of the older teaching methods. High standards are in place for all classes, not just the college preparatory ones. For example, the principal Doctor Keeler and the academic deans implemented a new writing program across all curriculums to further strengthen Jefferson's high standards.
All students write an essay each six weeks in every class.
