Jackson High School (Missouri)
Jackson High School (also referred to as Jackson Senior High or simply JHS), is located in Jackson, Missouri, United States. It consists of grades 9–12 and was established in 1920. One of the original buildings of the school was called Old A. This building stood as a historical landmark until its demolition in 2017 as a result of the voter approved no tax bond, Prop J, which was passed in 2017. A new building has been constructed on the same ground that Old A occupied. The new building is made of new brick and the same limestone that was salvaged from Old A. The building consists of most freshman classes and has the highest technology in the whole school.
