Celebrating the Heart of JPS: Our Scholars

At Jackson Public Schools, our scholars are at the heart of everything we do. Scholar Appreciation Week, September 8 - 12, 2025, is a time to celebrate their curiosity, dedication, and achievements, and to recognize the bright future they are building for themselves and our community. 

We encourage all staff, parents, and community members to show appreciation in meaningful ways:

• At schools: Share words of encouragement, celebrate successes in the classroom, or recognize a scholar for demonstrating our core values of Excellence, Equity, Growth Mindset, and Relationships and Relevance.

• On social media: Share photos, videos, or shoutouts celebrating the amazing work of our scholars and tag #JPSScholars to spread positivity throughout the district.

Every small act of recognition helps our scholars feel valued and motivates them to reach higher. Let’s come together to honor the incredible scholars who make Jackson Public Schools shine!
