Andrew Jackson opened as a junior
high school on Warrior Trail in 1968 and in 1969 became
Jackson/South, a combined junior and senior high school.
For the first two years it was a two-story, one wing
building with portables. As the school population
grew, a second wing was added and a new high school
was built (South Grand Prairie High School.) In
1974, Jackson became a middle school. Through the
years, Jackson has been the "parent" of
two other middle schools. Both Truman and Kennedy
were formerly in the Jackson school zone. Jackson
is still the largest middle school.
As the high school populations increased,
the decision was made to convert the existing Jackson
into a 9th Grade Center for South Grand Prairie. Renovations
began in 2001 and building began on a new school on
Corn Valley Road. In August 2002, Jackson Middle School
moved to its new facility.
