[edit] History

Jackson Memorial High School first opened in 1964. Before then, students living in Jackson attended Lakewood High School. The school had three main buildings - the Clayton building, the Memorial building, and the Fine Arts building. The Fine Arts building connects the once separate Clayton building, previously a middle school, and the two-story Memorial building, built as a temporary building.
