    Mrs. Benn Thornton: “Jackson’s intellectual curiosity, exceptional work-ethic, and strong communication skills make him an outstanding candidate to represent the best of the students who will graduate from RHS.”

    Mrs. Santee: “Jackson is a true student leader. He serves as the President of the FFA chapter and on the student council, as well as being in NHS and CAN. Additionally, he is a 3-sport athlete, participating in swimming where he earned all state honors twice, football, and soccer. When not participating in a sport, he will be found leading the crowd in the student section. He is an excellent student and has earned multiple honors, both in the classroom and outside of it. In working with Jackson for so many years, most recently as a counselor, I’ve come to know a responsible, outgoing individual who has a positive impact on those around him. He is humble, has been blessed with a serving heart, and takes a genuine interest in making his community a better place, which is evident in his many community service activities.”


    Mrs. Griffin: “There’s never been a time, in the six years that I’ve been blessed with Jackson as a student, that he hasn’t put 110% of himself into everything he does. Jackson is an amazing young man.”

    Jackson participates in football, swimming, soccer, FFA, Student Council, National Honor Society and CAN. He has lettered academically sophomore, junior, and senior years. He’s also lettered in football, swimming, and soccer. He was one of three sophomore English students of the year.
