Give it up for Mr. Everett! Welcome to East!
My name is Troy Everett and I am so excited to join the team at East Jessamine Middle and have an opportunity to re-enter teaching! I'm looking forward to the challenges and rewards of a new school year.
I'm joining you after working in the logistics and financial sectors for several years after beginning my career teaching. I love literature and history and look forward to being able to share my interest with students.
I can't wait to get started and be part of the team here. I look forward to meeting and working with you all! Let's go Jaguars!

We are excited to have Ms. Jones join our team!
My name is Samantha Jones and I am so excited to continue my teaching career as I join East Middle as your new Health Teacher. I have a deep passion for promoting healthy lifestyles and empowering students to make informed decisions about their well-being. I attended college at the University of Kentucky where I played D1 Softball for 4 years. Before teaching I was an NAIA and D1 Collegiate Softball Coach for 10 years. I have two sons, Parker and Asher, who will be joining the Jessamine County District. I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to build a strong foundation for a healthy future! Go Jags!
