Students can engage in a variety of groups and activities.

Engaging in extracurricular activities such as weekly chapel, spiritual emphasis week and class retreats is mandatory for all students. Over 80% of JCS middle and high school students participate in at least one of our athletic teams. Other extracurricular activities are based on student interest and in some cases auditions or other requirements.

Select from the following options below.

Spiritual Life

Weekly Chapel

Weekly Chapel is part of the JCS student experience. Area pastors, youth pastors and spiritual leaders in our community are frequent guest speakers. Middle and high school students enjoy separate chapel times and topics that are relevant for their age and spiritual development.

Student Praise Team

Student Praise and Worship Band provide an opportunity for student involvement in high school. Praise and worship band allows students to use their God-given gifts while receiving leadership training.

Spiritual Emphasis Week

Spiritual Emphasis Week is an intensive week long series of chapels and other events to help students drill deeper in their spiritual walk and personal commitment to Christ. A guest, national youth speaker who is skilled in teaching and challenging teens is the featured speaker. The week includes a parent meeting as well.

Bible Studies

Student Led Bible Studies take place before school and during lunch and are often an outgrowth of Spiritual Emphasis Week.

Christian Service

Christian Service is a student responsibility. Acts of service are required at JCS as part of the Bible Class curriculum. While some opportunities are offered through the school, students are encouraged to engage in service according to their gifts and interests. The ACTS model is used to define the service that is required of students during middle and high school.

Academic Club

National Honor Society (NHS)

Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors who qualify academically are invited to apply for membership in the National Honor Society. Recommendations from teachers and the student’s pastor are required. NHS members participate in group activities and enjoy occasional special privileges. NHS sponsors the annual Red Cross Blood Drive each spring. NHS members are required to log community service hours to maintain their membership.

International Club

International Student Ambassadors Club

International students are part of the fabric of Jackson Christian Middle and High school. To provide the best American experience possible the International Club matches JCS International students with 9-12 grade domestic student mentors. Club members participate in monthly activities that give our international students a sampling of American life. Mentors commit to befriending our international students and helping them become comfortable within American school and Jackson Christian School culture. Students are invited to apply for membership in the club the spring of each year.

Mentoring

Serving as Mentors to New Students

Sophomore, Junior and Senior students serve as mentors to new middle school students through the mentoring program. Incoming sixth grade and other new middle school students are matched with a high school mentor. Mentors agree to help their student acclimate to middle school academically, socially and spiritually. Interested students are invited to apply to become a mentor in the spring.
