Doss DECA members and their adviser, Mrs. Kelly Wilson, stayed after school on Thursday, April 17, 2025 to serve their school by volunteering to pick up trash on the Doss campus. Giving back and serving the community is one of the pillars of the DECA organization and we were blessed to do our part!
The Senior Marketing classes at Doss have developed retail store fronts for some of our favorite places to promote products, sales, and services. The students worked together to create their store fronts and promotions.
Great Job Dragons!!
🌟 DAY OF SERVICE | More than 200 JCPS middle school student leaders stepped up to give back across Louisville today. Explore Ambassadors volunteered at 11 different organizations—making a real impact in our community.
👥 The largest group—70+ Explore Ambassadors from seven schools—packed food boxes at Love the Hungry.
🪑 25 students from Ramsey Middle built chairs and bicycles for refugee families’ apartments with Catholic Charities of Louisville.
We’re so proud of these young leaders who are choosing to lead with heart, service, and purpose!

Monday begins International Festival Spirit Week!!! So your cultural heritage with pride!!!!
Our Health Science students went to the Health Track Rx on a field trip. Engaging with health care professionals is a driving focus for our students!
On March 25, 2025, twenty-nine of our bright junior Health Science students got a taste of their future at Spalding University’s Career Preview Day! They had the chance to hear from the University President, connect with current students and advisors, and dive into exciting, hands-on activities that showcased Spalding’s top-notch programs—nursing, occupational & physical therapy, natural sciences, health sciences, and athletic training. From learning about career paths to making new connections, it was an inspiring and fun-filled day for all!
Last week, 10 of our junior Health Science students embarked on an unforgettable journey—the Baby Project! These lucky (and brave) students got a taste of parenthood, spending the weekend caring for their very own “newborns.” From late-night feedings to nonstop snuggles, they tackled every challenge like pros!
We’re happy to report that all babies were well cared for, and our students passed with flying colors! Who knew a weekend with a little one could be so fun?
