Jefferson High awarded grant for theater lighting

Jefferson High School has secured a nearly $80,000 state grant to upgrade its theater lighting, following last month’s installation of a new sound system.

The money, awarded by Governor Greg Gianforte on Jan. 27, is part of the Montana Main Street Grant program that supports downtown revitalization and community development. The school will contribute an additional $28,065 in matching funds.

Superintendent Erik Wilkerson said the school’s strong community ties helped secure the funding.
