Jefferson High School recently showcased an Appalachian Heritage display, featuring artifacts representing Indigenous, English, African, German, Irish, and French cultures. Since returning to school, students across the district have been studying Appalachian history and West Virginia culture. Appalachia spans 13 states, including all of West Virginia, and is known for its strong values of family, freedom, and self-reliance. At JCS, we're proud to celebrate the rich history and heritage of our region! 💙💛
