Why Choose WJSE?

"Attending the Willie Jeffries School of Excellence has been a dream for our children. They had always longed to live in Orangeburg, and when the opportunity arose for them to attend the same school, we seized the chance to make it a reality. Every day, they are overjoyed by the loving and supportive community at WJSE. Mrs. Enisha Adams is such a caring and supportive 2nd grade teacher. We have been so blessed by her communication style and the love she shows our youngest daughter. The 6th grade team has been exactly what we need as our eldest daughter navigates middle school - supportive, caring, and kind. The related arts team has also contributed to our lives in a variety of ways - new songs to sing in Spanish, new art techniques, and more fun with basketball! We are happy with and proud of our decision to join the WJSE family. To know and love Coach Willie Jeffries is the cherry on top. The school not only carries his name, but it is a beautiful example of his heart."
