For all high school students: Celebrate culture & connection at RPS 205! Join the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council on Saturday, May 16 from 12–3 PM at Jefferson High School’s Main Gym for a powerful event showcasing history & unity across our diverse school communities.

Jefferson Theatre Troupe proudly presents their spring musical - IN THE HEIGHTS.

In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

Performances will be in the Jefferson Auditorium on April 17th at 7pm, April 18th at 7pm, and April 19th at 1pm. Tickets are $10 for general admission and sold at the door.

More than 2,500 RPS 205 juniors and seniors connected with more than 40 employers at our inaugural Career Fair at the QUAD! Students explored entry-level careers, shared resumes, and discovered opportunities to start working now or after graduation.

TONIGHT! The booster club is hosting a skate fundraiser at Skateland. Come in and stay out of the rain tonight!

Enjoy! See you back on Monday, April 6!
