Jefferson Principal standing in front of a banner with a microphone

Please help us extend a HUGE congratulations to Jefferson High School for earning national banner recognition from Special Olympics for the 2024-2025 school year!

JHS students and staff, alongside district and community leaders, gathered in the gym this morning as representatives from Special Olympics SD presented the school with its official banner. The banner symbolizes the school’s commitment to bringing students with and without intellectual disabilities together through Unified Basketball, Spread the Word - Inclusion, and more!

Jefferson now joins eight schools in South Dakota with this recognition, which is part of a national movement that includes 10,000 schools from across the country!

Way to go, JHS, for creating a school culture where every student belongs!
