Our teachers at Jefferson West High School contribute each and every day to the future of our society and community. They help shape the character and future of our students, which are invaluable lessons.

Mrs. Magill's anatomy students took some time to share with Freshman Biology their final dissection of the semester. This project wraps up a year-long journey that Anatomy students undertook in the intricate details in Anatomy and Physiology. Several of these students have chosen Anatomy due to the new CTE Health Science program. The Freshman students really enjoyed the upperclassman explaining what they were doing and it worked out great that the Freshman had just finished up frogs last week. YEAH!
