We are proud to announce another successful DECA campaign for JHS! Our journey began in January with 64 participants at the district competition. Jackson High had 27 state qualifiers and 6 alternates. 24 competed this weekend at the annual State Career Development Conference in Detroit. Congratulations to all of our qualifiers!

Competition continues on for three JHS students, all of whom qualified for the International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida this upcoming April!

Lennon Seagraves and Tobin Warren qualified in the School Based Enterprise category for The Viking Store. Tanvi Tyagi qualified in the category of Human Resource Management.

In addition, Muhammad Harris (Innovation Plan) and Samantha Williams (Principles of Marketing) were recognized as state finalists.

We are proud of the way our students represented Jackson High throughout the weekend. Great job Vikings

Congratulations to the following students on their outstanding performances at the CEO Challenge!

Team Green Bean (Georgia Tocco, Vincent Wu, Matthew Moilanen, and Tyshon Gray)

won 1st place as well as Best Presentation. They were awarded $1500 in prize money as well as trophies.

Team Clear Path (Muhammad Harris, Yannis Ouoba, and Zaviah Loving) won 4th place as well as Most Innovative Idea. This team went home with $500 in prize money and other gifts.

When a student is late for class, a teacher will mark that student as being tardy in Minga (our new campus software management system). Once this occurs, students and parents will receive a text message stating that the student has been marked tardy and that the student will be receiving an intervention. Please speak with your student about the importance of punctuality.

Just a reminder to our seniors to check the senior newsletter for all important information for upcoming graduation activities and requirements. Senior dues ($150) are due by April 25. Your last day of school will be on May 16th. All seniors must be in good standing to participate in graduation activities including walking at commencement on May 23. Lack of attendance, failed courses, misbehaviors and/or suspensions will be considered in this determination as well. Finish strong! If there is anything we can do to support you finishing strong, please reach out to Ms. DeCorte or Mrs. Scott to set up an appointment to meet.
