About
West Jefferson Middle School is the middle school serving the Conifer articulation area. The school opened as a junior high school (grades 7 through 9) on March 21, 1974 and transitioned to a middle school (grades 6 through 8) in 1996. Three elementary schools feed into our school: Elk Creek, Marshdale, and West Jefferson. Our students go on to Conifer High School.
We are celebrating our fiftieth anniversary of serving Conifer’s students in the 2024-25 school year. A short history of our school, a collection of press clippings, and a student project to preserve the Westall Monument can be found on our West Jeff Middle History website.
