🎓 100 ALUMNI. $100 EACH. ONCE A VIKING - ALWAYS A VIKING. 🧡🖤

As Jackson High School prepares to celebrate 100 years in 2027, we’re inviting our alumni and JHS community to help us mark this incredible milestone by investing in the next generation of Vikings.

Our goal is simple: 100 alumni giving $100 to support the JHS Centennial Scholarship Fund. Every contribution will help provide scholarships to JHS/JPHS students, which will be awarded at the Ambassador Dinner.

Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, this is an opportunity to honor the school, the people, and the experiences that helped shape generations of Vikings.

📲 Ready to give? Scan the QR code on the flyer or visit:
https://www.vancoevents.com/us/donate/jhs100scholarship

💵 Prefer cash or check? Donations may also be mailed to Jackson Public Schools at the address listed on the flyer. Checks should be made payable to Jackson Public Schools.

Help us reach 100 alumni and create a legacy that carries the Viking tradition forward.

Once a Viking, Always a Viking. 🧡🖤

We are so excited to announce that Calvena Mahoney was chosen by audition to perform in the ensemble with Sutton Foster (the famous Broadway actress) at the Wharton Center on October 3rd.

40 total students were selected from the entire state to be a part of this ensemble. We are so incredibly proud of Calvena and excited for her to have this amazing opportunity.

Calvena has been a member of the JHS choirs since her freshman year and has earned frequent honors for her singing. She has earned top marks at music theater solo and ensemble and classical solo and ensemble every year and was selected for last year's All-State Jazz honors choir.

Hispanic Heritage Spotlight: Dr. Ellen Ochoa 🚀

Today, we’re celebrating a trailblazer in science, engineering, and space exploration!

In 1993, Dr. Ellen Ochoa became the first Hispanic woman to travel to space when she flew aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.

Before becoming an astronaut, Dr. Ochoa was an engineer and researcher. She later went on to become the first Hispanic director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, helping lead one of the nation’s most important centers for human spaceflight.

Her story is a powerful example of where curiosity, education, perseverance, and big dreams can lead.

✨ During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate people like Dr. Ochoa whose achievements continue to inspire future generations.
