I was happy to return to my alma mater, Jackson Middle School, in the 2005-06 school year. It was 1971 when I first set foot in Jackson Jr. High School, as a seventh grader. It was a lot different back then. Sixth grade was still in elementary and the ninth grade was still in junior high. However, I remember having a great time playing in the band, singing in choir, attending athletic events, and going to dances that featured live bands. I enjoyed my academic classes, but I had the most fun making new friends and changing classes. Well that's enough about me.

Jackson Middle School is rich in history and tradition that focus on school pride as well as high expectations. There are outstanding faculty and staff who expect excellence and work diligently to ensure that students are successful. Students are encouraged to do their best at all times. However, if they are struggling with academic, behavior, or emotional problems, then they can get the help they need by attending tutoring or talking with our counselors.

We are proud of our school, and we expect great things from the administration, faculty, staff and students!  As our theme this year, I have chosen "Simply The Best" because that applies to Jackson Middle School.

Go you Mighty Eagles! Michael Brinkley
