Welcome to the Talent Development page for Jackson Middle School.  There are many enrichment opportunities available to students both at the district and the building level.  Some opportunities are open and available to all students; others are open to students by invitation (those may be based on teacher recommendations, MAP or MCA test scores, special interests, etc.).  To see a description of some of these opportunities, click this link.
