📣 Exciting News for Incoming 8th Grade Students!
Introducing the Early High School & Credential Program in Jackson County Schools
Beginning Fall 2025, Jackson County Schools is launching a new, innovative opportunity for a small pilot group of incoming 8th graders: the Early High School and Credential Program!
This initiative is designed to empower students early by allowing them to begin earning high school credits and complete Career & Technical Education (CTE) credentialing while still in middle school.
🌟 What does this mean for students?
Selected students will:
• Get a head start on their high school journey by taking advanced classes in Math, English, Science, and Social Studies.
• Begin earning recognized credentials in career and technical fields.
• Have access to real-world learning experiences such as:
o Work-based learning
o Apprenticeships
o Hands-on career exploration
This pilot program opens the door to more flexible and personalized pathways through high school, giving students the skills and experience they need for college, careers, and beyond.
📝 Who can participate?
A small group of students will be selected to participate in this pilot. If you think your child may be interested in this opportunity, please complete the following survey @ https://forms.gle/rZFG9t3pyvxNxvRW7 . More details about eligibility, the application process, and program structure will be shared in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned — this is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Jackson County Schools!

Good evening,
In our ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and security of our schools, the Shield Coordinator—alongside local law enforcement—will be testing a weapons detection system at our secondary schools over the next few days.
As part of this testing, students may be asked to walk through the detection system before entering the building. Please note that this system is mobile and may also be utilized at various events across the county to further support and improve our existing safety practices.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to prioritize the well-being of our students and staff.
Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
Good afternoon. This is a reminder that tomorrow, April 18, 2025, is an early dismissal day due to Faculty Senate. Students will be dismissed 3 hours early. All buses will arrive at their after-school stops 3 hours early. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

Good afternoon, this is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. First, I would like to apologize for any concern that my decision this morning to have school has caused you. The decision was made from information gained through our school weather debriefing the evening before, and our early morning snow drivers reporting snow had not begun. However, I take full responsibility for this decision. Unfortunately, the system has moved north placing Jackson County in its path until 12:30 p.m. today. Instead of releasing students early, after careful review of all weather information, we will dismiss schools at the normal time allowing the Department of Highways time to treat roads before the evening commute. Please expect bus delays this evening. Our goal is to take all precautionary measures to ensure a safe trip home for all children and staff. If your child drives to school, please consider picking them up or having them ride a bus home. Also, our principals will stay at their schools until all students have been picked up and returned home safely. Once again, I apologize for this morning and the issues it has caused. Thank you.
Good evening parents and guardians. This is a friendly reminder that students will not attend school tomorrow, Monday, February 17, 2025, due to a professional learning day for school employees. If you would like to meet with your child's teacher, it is not too late. Please contact the school around 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to make arrangements. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
