The Jackson Prep College Counseling Office provides a supportive environment for students and families to make informed choices by providing resource material, offering counsel, and assisting in the submission of applications. Our goal is to work collaboratively with students to identify a range of colleges suited to their individual needs and abilities and to assist them in making well thought out decisions about successful college placement while alleviating as much anxiety, fear, and confusion as possible during the process.
