The Jefferson High School FFA chapter harvested potatoes from their land lab this week as part of Project Feed JC. The potatoes will be donated to the food pantry at Jefferson County Community Ministries in a couple weeks once they have undergone a curing time in the cooler.
A threat posted on social media against an unidentified school led to precautions at two schools in Jefferson County Thursday. Although this incident was investigated in Berkeley County, law enforcement could not initially determine whether the threat was local or if it targeted a specific school.
In an abundance of caution, Jefferson High School modified the bus arrival pattern. Wildwood Middle School entered into a temporary modified lockout, limiting visitors and keeping students inside the building while maintaining a normal schedule. The lockout was lifted by noon Thursday.
Jefferson County Schools (JCS) puts the safety of students and staff first and applauds local law enforcement and our administrators for quick action. As always, JCS takes any potential threat seriously. We are grateful to and fully support our partners in law enforcement in their efforts to determine the validity of these threats and what risk they might pose to children. We appreciate the continued patience and support of our families, students, and community as we work to keep our schools safe.

Dear JHS Family and Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that one our band students, Reese Brown, has lost her battle with cancer. Reese was an 11th grader and a member of the clarinet section. She always had a smile on her face and absolutely loved being a member of the Cougar Marching Band. Reese was a highly intelligent, giving, and kind person who we will all miss dearly. On behalf of all the JHS Staff, parents, students, family and community, I would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to Reese’s family. I know that many of our members will be devastated by this news, as am I. Please contact the school at 304-725-8491 if you need counseling service for your grief. I would also ask that we support each other during this time and check in on one another. Please know that it’s ok to ask for help if you are hurting. We all deal with loss differently.
We will send everyone information regarding a service for Reese when the information becomes available. Until then, please take care of yourselves and know that people are here for you.
Sincerely, JHS Administration
