Expectations & Support

Academy Expectations

At graduation, we like to celebrate our students who meet or exceed academy expectations and requirements with an assortment of honorary regalia. Additionally, for underclassmen, there are yearly benchmarks for students to meet and will recognize students who fulfill or exceed these expectations at the end of each year.

Student Supports

For each academy there is a very strong student leadership team who head up different projects and initiatives. One is organizing a mentoring program. Our upperclassmen will be matched with interested underclassmen to serve as a resource for our first and second course students who are navigating both Jackson-Reed and their respective academy.
