As we reminisce about the incredible progress and achievements of the Jefferson R-7 School District, we were honored to be joined by the man who's been at the helm for 13 years, Mr. Clint Johnston. From our very first high school graduation to implementing one-to-one technology, we discuss the challenges and successes that have shaped our district. Most importantly, we delve into the vital role that relationships and community involvement have played in making Jefferson R-7 the thriving district it is today.

We also took time to appreciate the mentors who have influenced our lives and careers, and the importance of paying it forward by mentoring others. Mr. Johnston shares his experience on how he navigated the uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, and how we've managed to provide mental health support for our students and staff during these challenging times. Through it all, the resilience of our Blue Jay Nation shines through.

As we wrap up this heartwarming episode, we send well wishes to the Blue Jay Nation and look forward to the future growth and success of the Jefferson R-7 School District. Join us as we celebrate our accomplishments, learn from our challenges, and prepare for the exciting future ahead.
