The Jackson Academy Association (JAA) will kick off the 2025-2026 school year with A Blue & White Night August 16 at the Country Club of Jackson. The evening will feature entertainment with dueling pianos from New Orleans, a silent auction line up, teacher adventures, grade art gallery by young artists, and a raffle. Funds raised from this event are used to purchase educational tools for K2-12th grade classrooms; improve campus areas, such as the Performing Arts Center and Raider Field; award C.A.R.E. grants for faculty innovation; and fund other student-focused initiatives.
