Fall 2014
PROJECTS 2013-2014 CHANGE HAS BEEN A CENTRAL THEME AT JACKSON PREP OVER THE LAST YEAR. We have said goodbye to an icon who was part of the very fabric of this school. We welcomed a new head of school whose bold vision for Prep will carry us into the future, allowing us to be known and respected in this state and beyond. And our campus has expanded and added state-of-the-art facilities that benefit our students and our community. One constant at Jackson Preparatory School, however, is the support of the parents, grandparents, students, teachers, and alumni that comprise the Prep Family. That support is evident
in these pages because without it the Patriot Club would have been unable to fund the projects needed to enhance our school and our students’ overall educational experience. We ask that you consider giving an undesignated gift to the Patriot Club as a show of support for Jackson Prep and its mission to inspire and challenge students toward academic, athletic and artistic excellence. Your gift allows Prep to continue its growth and advancement. To make a gift to the Patriot Club, visit www.jacksonprep.net/donate now or
contact me at 601-932-8106, ext. 252, or at rsherman@jacksonprep.net. We are looking forward to a great year at Prep and hope that you will join us as we journey towards a bigger and brighter future. Thank you for your support, #PrepFamily. Sincerely,
Ryan Sherman Director of Annual Giving
