Dear Viking Parents/Guardians and students:

I hope this letter finds you well as you  enjoy the remainder of summer. I would like to welcome you to our 2022-23 school year! 

At JHS we know that it is essential to take care of each student as a whole child and as we transition to a new school year, we will ensure that all students are afforded the equitable opportunity to find success in all aspects of life and education.

This past year we were able to celebrate successes and here are the highlights:

• Decision Day (celebration of seniors)

• 1:1 Computing (equitable access for all students)

• After School Tutoring/Athletic Study tables (reinforcing a culture of academic excellence)

• Vikings Give (bringing our community together through donations from students and families)

• Restorative Sessions (conflict resolution, communication, and empowering voices)

• Viking Voice Advocacy (students sharing their voice on JHS policies 

• Virtual Ambassador Auction (scholarships for students and mini grants for teachers)

• Community Closet (providing food, clothing, hygiene items, etc)

• Student Assemblies and Pep Rallies (mental health awareness, Battle of the Classes…) 

• Homecoming

• Celebrated 233 graduates and 21 valedictorians 

• Summer School (over 230 credits were earned)

• ...and much more…

JHS classes will begin on Wednesday, August 24, 2022. 

The school year is just around the corner and the fall sports teams are gearing up for their first official practices so if you are interested in participating in any of the fall sports it is not too late. Please contact the athletic office for details @ 517-841-3715. 

Thank you for your help and support for our teachers and your student. If you have any questions, please contact us. 🧡🖤

We are the Hype!

Hello Vikings

This is Mr. Willie Lewis, your 9th grade principal.  I am a proud Viking from the class of 89’ so I can understand your excitement and anticipation of the coming school year.  The next four years of your life will be marked by challenges and triumphs.  You will form relationships that may be life long at the same time that you grow intellectually, socially and physically.  We are excited to be on this journey with you and your families.  On behalf of the staff of Jackson High School I would like to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year.  

We are looking forward to a great year filled with smiles, accomplishments and hard work. The hallways and classrooms are being cleaned, the floors are being waxed, and the rooms are being assembled with you in mind.   This year promises to be special not only because you're joining us but also because we are renovating spaces (Media Center, Athletic Training Facility and our locker room spaces) and adding programs (AVID,...) 

To welcome you properly we have some special events planned for you. 

Aug 10th. Viking Voyage is our opportunity to host you and your family to experience “a day in the life of a Viking”.  Parents are welcome to come but this is a student centered morning.  Students will be able to hear from staff about the many possibilities to be involved in at JHS including clubs and programs. You will also have the opportunity to get your locker and follow your class schedule so that you can begin to map the building.  We are hosting a lunch for students in the cafeteria.  We have a few surprises in store for you so be prepared to get wet.   

Aug 15th. Class Dinner-  This is another opportunity to come together and learn about all of the opportunities that are available at Jackson High School to be successful. Families will be able to pick up schedules during the dinner.  This event is more formal and family centered.   

Class shirts will be available for $10 and will be available at both events.  (See attached flier)

JHS classes will begin on Wednesday, August 24, 2022. 

The school year is just around the corner and the fall sports teams are gearing up for their first official practices so if you are interested in participating in any of the fall sports it is not too late. Please contact the athletic office for details @ 517-841-3715 

We are thankful that you have made the choice to partner with us in graduating your student into adulthood.  We welcome your input and support so please communicate with us so that we can serve you best.   If you have any questions please contact my office at (517) 841-3729.    

Sincerely,

Willie R. Lewis

I hope you are all enjoying the remainder of your summer. School is quickly approaching and we are looking forward to having you back! 

You are no longer the new faces at Jackson High School! As incoming 10th graders, I look forward to seeing you set the way for our incoming Freshman. It was a privilege to watch you grow, mature, and learn throughout many new adjustments last year. I hope you are ready to come back to normalcy, and some awesome new upgrades throughout our building!
