Black History Month | February 2026
Black History Month honors the resilience and achievements of generations of African Americans who advanced freedom and equity despite adversity. Jackson Public Schools celebrates this legacy by uplifting the people and stories that paved the way for progress and opportunity. Their impact continues to inspire our district and community today.
Teacher Professional Development Day | February 13, 2026
