EJHS TEACHER AND SUPPORT PERSON OF THE YEAR
Congratulations to our East Jackson High School Teacher of the Year Ms. Katy Stone, and Support Person of the Year Ms. Micki Borsa!
Congratulations on Friday's BIG W Eagles!
Congratulations to our football team on a huge win over Commerce on Friday night! This is the first time our football team has defeated our cross-town rivals in school history. Our band and color guard performed a terrific show at half-time and our cheerleaders and student section were rocking all night! Based on the records that we can find, it was our largest home crowd in school history! Thank you to all who attended and showed support.
It's a great day to be an EAGLE!!!
