I’m so proud of the talented (and goofy) TJHS students that I get to work with every day! These Choir and Band students rocked it at the IESA State Solo and Ensemble Contest on March 25. They ALL received Superior ratings, and we brought home 41 First place medals! These kids represent the future of the performing arts in our Taylorville community!

To earn the 1st grade black belt, students had to jump 50 times in a row.

Mr. Jason Wolters is the February Teacher of the Month at TJHS. Mr. Wolters has reinvigorated the Art program and students are responding in kind. He teaches because the kids are fun and open to new things. He likes interacting with them and enjoys hearing positive feedback from students who tell him they want to be an Art teacher too.
Ms. Kaileigh Rash is the February support staff member of the month. Ms. Rash loves working with students and thinks that teachers have such a large impact on the lives of their students. She had some amazing teachers and just wants to have the same impact. Her fondest memory so far is interacting with all the wonderful staff and watching the kids grow and succeed.
