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.

We are excited to announce that all 4 of our students that auditioned for the MSVMA (choir) music theater intensive were accepted. They will join 96 other students from around the state who were accepted to participate in this opportunity. These students will work with music theater professionals and participate in clinics, they will also have the opportunity to compete to perform as a soloist.

We are so proud of JHS choir students, Oscar Curtis, Adein Kelley, Calvena Mahoney, Mason Valdivia.

From JHS Choir teacher, Mr. YuhaszPratt:

“These students were so nervous and emailed back and forth with me many times with their audition videos as we worked on improving all the minor details. It was such a pleasure to get to call them to inform them of their success, they were all so excited! I am SO PROUD of these students.”

How Did Hispanic Heritage Month Begin?

What we now know as Hispanic Heritage Month actually started much smaller.In 1968, the United States first recognized Hispanic Heritage Week as a way to honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic Americans.

Then, in 1988, the observance was expanded from one week to a full month, creating the celebration we recognize today from September 15 through October 15.

That growth reflects just how many stories, traditions, achievements, and communities there are to recognize.

✨ History gives us the chance to understand where a celebration began — and why it continues to matter today.

🎓 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. 🧡🖤

🔒 Keeping Our Students and Community Safe

Jackson Public Schools is sharing an important reminder about Michigan’s firearm secure storage law, which has been in effect since February 13, 2024.

Under Michigan law, fi****ms must be securely stored when a minor is present or likely to be present. This includes using a locked box or container and/or an appropriate locking device that prevents the firearm from being used.

These requirements apply both at home and when transporting fi****ms in a vehicle.

We encourage all JPS families to review the information and resources available on our website:

jpsk12.org/families/michigan-safe-storage-law

Thank you for partnering with us to help keep our children, families, and community safe.
