School Notes:
  • Andrew Jackson High School is one of the oldest high schools in Duval County, Florida, along with Robert E. Lee High School. Andrew Jackson High School is located just north of downtown Jacksonville. It was originally opened in 1927 as an all white school but became integrated in the early 1970s.
  • Jackson has been known for the city's oldest athletic rivalry, against Robert E. Lee High School. The Jackson Tiger football team has a good program and is known through out the state. The girls varsity basketball team have just recently been crowned 2007 Gateway Conference Champions, after beating out Samuel W. Wolfson High School. They have won this award for three consecutive years.
  • Due to lack of space, Jackson is the only high school in Duval County where the school building and football field, stadium and track are separate. The field is located about three-fourths of a mile north of the building on Main Street. Jackson is also recognized for its rapid change and constant improvement. When Duval County Schools were first being established, Jackson was on the verge of being disaccredited due to leaking roofs, cracks and window damage. Jackson improved in these conditions over the years and now hosts magnet programs where they receive additional founding for these classes.
  • Academics: Magnet students at Jackson High School can go into the criminal justice program, the Air Force ROTC military magnet program, or the medical program. The school currently has a D as of 2006.
  • Notable alumni: Haydon Burns- Jacksonville governor.
  • Lou Ritter-Jacksonville mayor.
  • Jake Godbold-Jacksonville mayor.
  • Tommy Hazouri-Jacksonville mayor.
  • Rocco Morabito-Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer.
  • Robert Femoyer-Medal of Honor winner & WWII Army Air Corps navigator.
