Jackson High School

Vision 

All students at Jackson High School are uniquely talented learners who will be prepared for their post-secondary options  by engaging in personal inquiry and growth, social responsibility, and academic and career excellence. 

Mission 

The mission of Jackson High School’s Counseling Department is to provide a comprehensive counseling program aligned with the ASCA model designed to meet the academic, personal/social, and college/career needs of all students so that they may become responsible and productive citizens.  As counselors, we will serve as student advocates who support all students and help prepare them for post-secondary plans. This is accomplished through a partnership with parents/guardians, staff, and community members to enable all students to become successful, productive, contributing citizens and lifelong learners in a diverse and changing world.
