Jackson Local Schools - Massillon, OH

The Jackson Township Rotary Club is seeking host families for its 2026-2027 exchange student from Japan.

Families are needed to host for a 3-month period and help welcome an energetic student who enjoys soccer, cycling, fishing, playing guitar, and trying new foods.

Hosting is a great way to give a student a meaningful experience in our community while also giving your family — and our students — the chance to learn about another culture firsthand. These connections help make Jackson such a special place to live, learn, and grow.

Interested in hosting or learning more? Contact Aletha Carver at (330) 614-1367 or [email protected].

As the school year comes to a close, we want to wish our students and families a safe, fun, and relaxing summer.

Thank you for helping make this a great year in Jackson Local Schools. We hope everyone enjoys time to rest, recharge, and make memories with family and friends.

We look forward to welcoming students back for the first day of the 2026-2027 school year on Tuesday, August 18.

Eighth-grade students recently shared their learning at the Genius Hour Showcase at Jackson Memorial Middle School.

Throughout the year, students explored topics they cared about, asked questions, solved problems, created products, and built projects around their own interests. The showcase gave them a chance to explain their work, share what they learned, and take pride in the process.

Thank you to the Jackson Local Schools Foundation, the JMMS PATT, and ArtsinStark for supporting these student learning opportunities.

Congratulations to the Jackson High School Creative Writing Team for representing Jackson at the JustWrite State Tournament at Bluffton University last week!

This experience gave our students the chance to write, think creatively, and compete alongside talented writers from across the state. A special congratulations to Gia Ciccolini, who earned 11th place out of nearly 200 students in the 9-10 grade division.

We are proud of our students for taking on this challenge and representing Jackson so well!

Congratulations to Jackson Memorial Middle School students Liam, Greg, Camden, Lily, and freshman Kayla for representing Jackson Local Schools at State Science Day at the Ohio State University!

This statewide competition gave students the opportunity to share their research, explain their thinking, and learn from others who are also exploring science in meaningful ways. Kayla, Greg, and Lily earned superior ratings at the state competition.

We are proud of all five students for their effort, preparation, and the way they represented Jackson.

Congratulations to our 8th Grade Choir on earning a Superior rating at the Junior High/Large Group Adjudicated Event on Saturday, May 16!

This accomplishment reflects the hard work, preparation, and teamwork of our student musicians. Experiences like this help students grow as performers, build confidence, and see what they can achieve together.

We are proud of our choir students and the strong music education happening in Jackson Local Schools. Way to go, musicians!

Jackson Select Soccer gives young athletes the chance to develop their skills, learn from coaches, compete with teammates, and grow through the game. It is also another way for students and families to stay connected to the strong youth sports community in Jackson.

Today, Jackson Local School District pauses to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is an important reminder for our students and community to reflect on service, sacrifice, and the freedoms we share.

We are grateful for the courage of those who served, the families who carry their legacy, and the example they leave for all of us.
