JPS Student Voices on Instagram

  • JPS Student Voices

    Jackson Public Schools seeks to provide a platform for our students to share their stories, concerns, and views. That's the primary reason we established the JPS Student Voices Instagram Page. JPS Student Voices focuses on matters of concern and importance to our scholars while still promoting District-related events, programs, and announcements.

    As with any District activity, participation as a JPS Student Voices team member or guest contributor to this platform is subject to the expectations of the Student Handbook & Code of Conduct and the District's Acceptable Use and Internet Safety Policy.
