Jackson High school offers a wide range of classes, from remedial to advanced placement. Jackson High School has a dual enrollment program where students can take courses at the local community college. Students from other high schools, such as Lumen Christi, East Jackson, and Jackson Northwest, are allowed to enroll for courses at Jackson High. Foreign students from all over the world, places such as Ukraine, Germany, and Brazil, can attend through an exchange program.
The Building: The Building Originally built in 1927 for $1,660,000, the building is one of the most prominent high school buildings in the state of Michigan. It is faced in brown brick and trimmed in limestone. The architecture of the building is an excellent example of the collegiate gothic style, with its two long wings flanking a prominent, spired tower. The building is three stories tall with a basement for additional class space and cafeteria. It stands 33 meters, or 109 feet tall. Recently Jackson High School received a $30,000,000 dollar renovation, that restored the building to its original grandeur, after many years of neglect due to budget constrants. The original building, along with existing additions, were gutted and restored with many modern amenties added. In addition, a brand new state-of-the art science wing was built with teaching space and lab stations complete with computers.
