Your Jackson Academy faculty is standing strong in its support of the JA Annual Fund and looks forward to reaching JA’s goal of 100 percent giving before the April deadline.

This “extra mile” giving shown by our faculty and staff, above and beyond their already great contribution to the classroom, is critical to laying the groundwork for the JA Annual Fund’s success and helping JA reach the goals of its mission. Today’s spotlight department is the JA Performing Arts Center team – they’re in, are you?
