Lafayette
Jefferson
High School
.
Jefferson
High School
is located in the heart of a dynamic community that embraces diversity in
cultures, religions, ethnic groups, races and socioeconomic levels. Greater

and several major multi-national corporations.
The incredible community support we receive has never been more evident than in
the past four years. In May, 2002,
Lafayette
voters overwhelmingly supported a $2.4 million referendum to increase general
fund revenue for the district. In May, 2003, Jefferson High School announced an
aggressive and unprecedented Build the Future campaign that has raised over $14
million in private contributions from alumni and friends to construct the
Rohrman Center for the Performing Arts, John B. Scheumann Stadium, Jefferson
Spirit Shop, and Indiana’s first student-run credit union, Jefferson’s PEFCU@School.
This is an exciting time to be a part of
