North Jackson Elementary is one of 33 elementary schools in the Jackson Public School District. We serve students in grades Pre-K-5. North Jackson has served the educational needs of the community since 1980. Conveniently located in the heart of north Jackson, our school is surrounded by several prominent neighborhoods and churches, making our mission of providing a nurturing environment to our students an everyday reality. The school houses several special programs including Pre-K, Gifted Education, Exceptional Education programs and Strings (provided by the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra). Our staff is made up of an energetic group of educators and life-long learners. We have several National Board Certified teachers as well as teachers with advanced/graduate-level degrees and certifications. To ensure that we reach every student, our school also has an incomparable group of instructional partners, interventionist assistants and volunteers who work diligently to reinforce our vision and mission. Our school adopters, Brown Bottling Group (Pepsi), The Salvation Army and Xerox, consistently support our school’s programs and initiatives and can regularly be found volunteering and spending time encouraging our students. Together, along with our parents and community stakeholders, we work hard to provide our students with the best possibilities to make everyday a great day!
