We are proud of our Facility Dog Program, featuring our beloved Kempton, a 4 year old Golden Retriever! We understand the significance of creating a warm, supportive, and inclusive environment for our students and staff. In our ongoing commitment to enhance the educational experience and foster emotional well-being, we have partnered with Kempton, a furry friend who has made a lasting impact on our school community at the Senior High School.

Kempton, our specially trained and certified Golden Retriever, is more than just a dog; he’s a dedicated member of our school family. His gentle nature, unwavering companionship, and intuitive understanding make him the perfect fit for our Facility Dog Program. Kempton works alongside our school counselors, teachers, and support staff to promote a sense of safety, belonging, and connection within our school community.

Kempton and our Facility Dog Program benefits our students, staff, and the entire school environment. From promoting emotional well-being to enhancing the educational experience, Kempton’s presence plays an integral role in making Jersey Shore Area High School a place where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered.

We hope to expand our Facility Dog Program to other buildings in the district in the future. If you would like to donate to our facility dog program, please mail your donation to the Jersey Shore Education Foundation, 175 A&P Drive, Jersey Shore, PA 17740. Please note facility dog on the check. Checks can be made out to the JS Education Foundation. Funds will be used to support Kempton’s needs (food, vet, etc) as well as support future dogs joining the program.
