Jackson Prep Alumni Council
The Alumni Council hosts many events throughout the year allowing former students to reconnect with old friends and make new ones with alumni from different classes. We encourage all alumni to reach out and update your contact information with us. Having an active alumni program is crucial to the future of our school, therefore we want to make it as easy as possible for you to give back to this school and its students. Please reach out to us and let us know how your talents can serve this community.

Jackson Prep Externship Program
The Jackson Prep Externship program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore their interests in a potential career field through research and experiential learning. Each student’s experience in the program will be organized around a central question that he or she wants to explore. During the semester-long course, students will divide their time between on-campus research, 5-7 weeks of off-campus experiential learning, and preparation of a final research project. Over the past five years, dozens of students have participated in the Externship program, gaining valuable insight and experience in fields as diverse as: general surgery and organ transplant, veterinary medicine, architecture, and the music production industry.
