Congratulations Class of 2025!
The future is bright for this year’s graduates at Jackson Preparatory & Early College (JPEC), the public school academy for 6th through 13th grade that gives students a head start on earning college credit. 29 Falcons receive high school diplomas and college credentials at our 9th graduation ceremony this May.
More than Just a Diploma
We’re recognizing students at this year’s Commencement, who are not only graduating from high school, they’re earning college credit. 18 are year-13 students who received their high school diplomas last year, and an associate’s degree from Jackson College at this year’s ceremony. 17 are earning multiple degrees and/or certificates. One is a junior!
Falcons who fulfill their high school requirements participate in Commencement in 12th grade and then attend college full-time the following year on our dime! JPEC students can even take 300- and 400-level classes and work towards a bachelor’s degree tuition-free at Albion College.
That’s a savings of as much as $73,000!
All the Options
This year’s graduates have a wide range of plans and career goals in fields such as
Healthcare
Business & entrepreneurship
STEM
Others are pursuing paths in the arts and humanities, such as film/set design, graphic design, theatre, and English education. A few are aiming for roles in psychology, criminology, and ministry.
Thanks to our partnership with the Jackson Area Career Center, some of our graduates have obtained certifications and licensing in vocations while enrolled at JPEC and will enter trades like welding, machining, and tattoo artistry. One graduate is joining the Navy.
Attending Jackson Preparatory & Early College opens a world of possibilities. Enroll now and start the walk down your path to a bright future.
