✨A huge welcome back to Jennifer Lowe! We are thrilled to announce she is rejoining our Bullitt County Public Schools family as the new Youth Services Center (YSC) Coordinator for Eastside Middle School and Mt. Washington Middle School.

Jennifer is a familiar face to many, having served at the North Bullitt High School YSC from 2012-2023. After a two-year break where she assisted YMCAs nationwide, she's bringing her passion and experience back to our community.

In her own words: "I'm very excited to be back home with my FRYSC family, serving the community and doing what I love!"
