The Jackson Center Local School District is located in northeast Shelby County.
The district has one large building complex which houses over 550 students in
grades pre- K-12, with 41 certified staff members. The district also
contains a branch of the Shelby Hills school which services 3 and 4 year olds.
The district provides a innovative curriculum and schedule for elementary and
middle school children that is designed to fit the individual needs of all
students. For example, our teachers specialize in subjects starting at the
kindergarten level so even 5 and 6 year olds change classes during the day.
At the
high school level, Jackson
Center is the only school in Shelby County besides Sidney High
School that offers Advanced Placement classes. In addition, Jackson Center
offers Dual Enrollment courses through Urbana University.
The Jackson Center community
takes pride in its school district and shows support financially through booster
groups and volunteering. The school district participates in the
inter-district open enrollment program and many students from surrounding school
districts choose to attend our school. In conjunction with the Upper Valley JVS, we offer comprehensive Vocational
Consumer Sciences and Vocational Agriculture programs.
Students from Jackson Center
have distinguished themselves with their achievements and accomplishments. The
Jackson Center School District achieved an Excellent Rating for the 2008-2009
school year and students take academic studies seriously with a high percentage
moving on to higher education.
Our students have also done well in music competitions, art contests, athletic
events, and drama productions. Our teachers and support staff do all that is
possible to provide an environment that is conducive to student participation
and achievement. |
