May 13, 2025 - The percentage of Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) seniors who are postsecondary ready or prepared for a career is expected to reach an all-time high this month. More than 7,100 students will receive diplomas from JCPS this school year, 6,880 of them this month. About 75 percent of all graduates are considered postsecondary or career ready. When a bonus is applied for students going into high-demand, high-wage fields, 81 percent are considered postsecondary/career ready. Those numbers are expected to increase and become new district records by the time graduation ceremonies conclude.
Thirty-four JCPS schools are having graduation ceremonies this year, including W.E.B. DuBois Academy, which will celebrate its first graduating class of young men.
“This is a big class of seniors, and we’re expecting big things out of every one of them,” said Dr. Marty Pollio, JCPS superintendent. “I’m proud of them for continuing to excel in the classroom, staying focused on college or a career, and showing all of us the importance of respecting and serving others in our community.”
