JMCSS is preparing to host, for the first time ever, a district-wide student art show and silent action. We’ll visit with Christy Hays, our districtwide fine arts coordinator to find out how our students are preparing for the big event. Also, the 6th Annual International Festival is coming up. Stephane Williams, ESL Lead Teacher with JMCSS is here to share info on that.

Plus we’ll spotlight several student programs, from Biostem to Pharmacy Technicians, and Academic Pentathlon.

This week our guest is JCM Athletic Director and Assistant Principal Broderick Baker. We'll discuss academic offerings that are new and unique to Jackson Central-Merry, like the Pharmacy Tech program/partnership with Lane College, and we will also talk sports to preview the 2024 JCM Cougar Football Season.

This week we will visit with Tiffany Spight, Chief Academic Officer for the Jackson Madison County Schools. We’ll discuss her journey through the field of education and talk about her efforts at the district office. We’ll also provide our stakeholders with an update on where we are as a district concerning the state’s 3rd grade retention law.
