Dear Demo Community;      

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year! Given the chance to lead “The School of Champions” is such an honor that I don't take lightly. On behalf of the Jefferson High School team, we want to say “Welcome back!”

As we begin this new school year, we will be sure to send communication regarding our updates:

• Attendance Policy & Support

• Academic Policy & Support

• Drug & Alcohol Policy & Support 

• And a host of other topics as we begin the year

As a learning community, we will reinforce rigor, respect, and responsibility to your students. As a community of educators, we are driven by the individual success and growth of our students. Our staff takes great pride and honor in educating, inspiring, and motivating your student(s).

As the principal of Jefferson High, Middle College for Advanced Studies, I believe that it is my responsibility to maintain and to continue to build a supportive and collaborative spirit at our school.  Together as a school community, we will build on the traditions of the past and meet the challenges of the future in innovative and exciting ways.

Again, I am excited to lead this community!!! Let's have a FANTASTIC YEAR!!!!!

Demos I Say!

Principal Drake Shelton
