Letter to the Community - May, 2013

Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

The 2012-2013 school year is rapidly nearing completion. For most of our students, the upcoming summer break serves as a short time to prepare for the next school year. However, for this year's senior class, graduations at Jackson County Comprehensive High School and East Jackson Comprehensive High School will mark the end of their K-12 school experience. As a group, the Class of 2013 produced many accomplishments. Student success was demonstrated in academics, athletics, activities, and community service. Over the next couple of weeks, multiple celebrations will occur honoring the specific accomplishments. We look forward to congratulating our 447 Seniors at their respective graduation ceremonies. We want to make special emphasis of our 133 Honor Graduates. Many of our students plan to continue their formal education in college. More than $4 million dollars has been offered in scholarships to this class, not including the Hope Scholarship.

Please join us in thanking parents and teachers for providing their dedicated support to our future citizens. We wish them all the best, and look forward to witnessing the many contributions they will make as their journeys continue.

Again, congratulations to the Class of 2013!

Sincerely,
John P. Green, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Jackson County Schools
