Welcome to Jackson Pathways     High School

Jackson Public Schools is committed to the success of all children. Our students are not one size fits all, and to that end we have several different programming options to fill the diverse needs of our students. Jackson Pathways is also equipped with renovated safe and secure entryways.

Jackson Pathways will follow a school within a school model providing nontraditional classroom experiences to students who, for a variety of reasons, have struggled to be successful in the traditional classroom.

It is the fundamental goal of the Jackson Pathways program to provide the soft skills necessary to be successful in the workforce or college with an independent career track, exposure, and experience for each child to build the bridge between the learning taking place in the classroom and the workforce.

Jackson Pathways Weekly Announcements

Week of September 8, 2024

Congrats to all of our athletes on their victories this past week!

Viking Pride points are back! Students in each grade level have the opportunity to earn points for their class by attending VP events! Events are announced each week and students must sign in at the admission table before they head to cheer on or support their peers.

Picture Day will be held this Wednesday, September 11th. We look forward to all students getting their picture taken so they can all have their school id cards. Look for more information on our newsletter about how to order picture day photos.

If you would like to paint the rock for your child’s birthday or another celebration, please reach out to us at 517-841-3700 to make a reservation.

This Friday we have a half day of school ending at 10:45am! Anthony Tyus will be our guest speaker talking to all of our students about being motivated to succeed in this upcoming school year! Only AM career center students will go out the JACC.

Each year, JHS football hosts a Pink Viking football game to honor cancer survivors and remember those who have lost their lives to this terrible disease. This event serves as a celebration of strength, resilience, and hope for all those affected by cancer. We invite the community to come together in paying tribute to these amazing individuals and their families. Together, we can continue to raise awareness and support for those impacted by cancer. Purchase of a Pink Viking t shirt will also give you admission to the game on September 13 at 7pm.

All backpacks and coats are to be left in lockers during the school day.

Cell phones and headphones are to be kept off and away while students are in classrooms. They are allowed to use them before school, during passing time, and after school. Please remind your young person of these very important JHS policies. Clothing items that are in violation of the dress code will be addressed. Your student will be expected to change clothing if an adult speaks to them about a violation.

Just a reminder that our day begins at 7:20am with doors open at 7:00am. Parents are welcome at the Welcome Center if you have any questions or need to drop off/pick up your child or anything for your child.

The JHS Teen Health Center is open each day for your child. Please reach out to them at 517-780-0838. They are available for mental health, wellness, and sports physicals.

Just a reminder to all of families about our new valedictorian policy
