Jasper, The Therapy Dog
Jasper joined the Lewis County High School family in 2022. She was trained by Ultimate Canine In Indianapolis before her debut at our school. Lewis County was the first High School in the State to receive a therapy dog under the state's new Friends with Paws program.
During school you can find Jasper where you see our students. Students can be seen playing ball, petting her, or watching her perform her tricks. Jasper provides a great tool for our school for mental health when students just need a little something different outside our staff services.
