We have been closely monitoring our attendance this week and feel it would be in the 
best interest of our students, staff and District to not have school tomorrow, due to illness. 

We seriously considered having an NTI Day, but due to so much sickness, including Type A and 
Type B Flu, felt it would not be a productive day.  Therefore, there will be no school on 
Friday, January 17, 2020.   We will use Friday to thoroughly sanitize all of our buildings. 

Just a reminder, there will be no school on Monday, January 20, 2020 in observance of 
Martin Luther King Day. 

 Jackson County High School will host an informational meeting about the development of a Track & Field team for students in grades 7-12.  Boys and Girls will be able to participate.  The team would compete in the 20/21 season.  

*  The meeting is for all parents/guardians and student-athletes. 

*  Jackson County High School Cafeteria - January 22, 2020 - 5:00 PM

JCHS received a 4 star ranking based on the state's 2018-19 accountability system, which is awesome!!!!  The school is ranked 38th out of the 226 high schools in Kentucky.  In the 13th region, which has a total of 17 high schools, JCHS ranked 3rd.  We are very proud of the hard work that our students and staff put forth to accomplish this achievement and we will continue to strive for improvement in all areas.  Looking at the preliminary results, our transition readiness score may be in the top 10 of the state again.  Based on this great news, on Wednesday, October 2nd, there will be a school-wide celebration that includes inflatables, movies and food.  A special thank you goes out to all of "General Nation" and it is a great day to be a General!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Working in partnership with parents to provide open communication and to ensure the safety of our students and staff, I wanted to inform you of a situation that occurred at the Jackson County High School today.  A student found a threatening message on a bathroom stall and reported it to a school administrator.  After an in-depth administrative investigation that included the school’s resource officer, a student confessed and the appropriate disciplinary measures were taken.  At no time were students or staff at risk.  As always,the welfare and safety of our students and staff is our top priority.  If you have any questions or concerns, you can call Brian Harris at (606) 287-7155 or email him at brian.harris@jackson.kyschools.us.

Cordially,

Brian Harris, JCHS Principal

Enrollment packets for the 2019-2020 JCHS school year:

There are 3 different packets depending the grade you are entering. 

• New Student Packet:  This is for any student that has never been in Jackson County Public Schools, or hasn’t been enrolled in JCPS in the last 2-3 years.
• Freshmen Packet:  This is for any incoming freshmen that attended JCMS last year.
• Upperclassmen Packet:  This is for any returning JCHS student that will be enrolled in grades 10-12 this coming school year.

We have tried to cut down the number of pages parents/guardians will need to fill out this year.  There is a cover sheet that explains what each form is for.  We cannot accept forms that are from other schools in the district.  Our forms are specifically for Jackson County High School students.
