Madison Academic has earned a string of district and region championships in girls' soccer, boys' and girls' golf, and cross country. We're visiting with Mustangs soccer coach Jeremy Young and three outstanding students - Mary Kinsley Nye, Nora Manley, and Chad Joyner - to discuss athletic success at MAHS (and theatre).

This week, we're visiting with Danielle Shaw Jones and students in the BioSTEM program at North Side High School. We’ll learn about several innovative career-building opportunities that are available for students North Side and throughout the district. 

There are several traditions and annual activities among schools in the Jackson-Madison County School System - Madison Academic has had 5 National Merit Finalists in the past 5 years, South Side Boys and Girls Basketball teams compete for the state title - seemingly every year since 2014 - and for the 3rd year in a row- Scholars from Liberty Technology High School have represented the district at the state level in the Tennessee School Boards Association Student Congress on Policies in Education (SCOPE) at Belmont University. 

These Young delegates serve with distinction at the student school board conference  - Zamarion Carter and Kennedi Taylor recently joined JMCSS School Board members -  Andre Darnell, Harvey Walden, and Andrea Givens-Moore at the Tennessee School Boards Association Student Congress on Policies in Education (SCOPE) at Belmont University. 

SCOPE is designed to give students a voice where public education issues are concerned. Participating in mock board sessions, students discussed an array of current topics like school uniform requirements and year-round school.a
