The Mission of Jackson Middle School

The mission of Jackson Middle School is to serve as a positive environment for academic and personal development between the elementary and high school years.  During these years, a child experiences extreme physical, social, emotional, and intellectual changes, and the speed which they occur, it is of the utmost importance that our school respond to the unique needs of the whole child, recognizing that self-esteem is the key to future academic success.  We believe that this mission extends to the total school environment.  Specifically, our students, in a healthy and safe environment, will develop an understanding of and a respect for themselves and others; a love of learning now and in the future; and a sound base of academic skills.  Moreover, we will help each student recognize that they all have rights and responsibilities in a democratic society.
