Jackson Prep’s leadership has adopted a phased approach
in structuring its campaign goals. The “Investing in Excellence”
Capital Campaign will secure as many of Prep’s long-range
goals as possible during this five-year effort. Our goals include
vital elements of Prep’s Master Plan, and, with your investment
in Prep’s mission, we are sure to celebrate the success
of reaching these important milestones.
CAMPAIGN CELEBRATION GOAL | ESTIMATED TOTAL $4.5 MILLION
Enhance Prep’s Facilities
New Cafeteria/Student Center
• Although the facility has served us well for more than
35 years, little in the cafeteria or kitchen has changed since
1971. To ensure a safe and healthy environment for students as
they interact with other youth and faculty, Prep must expand this
space.
Aesthetic Enhancements to the Campus
• A renovated plaza between the proposed entry pavilions
will create a wonderful gateway to the campus. With the successful
completion of each campaign goal, Prep will begin to phase in
campus-wide projects to enhance landscaping, lighting and the
creation of a student plaza, all of which will have significant
impact on the overall appearance, safety and aesthetics of the
campus. Renovated courtyards will provide beautifully landscaped
commons areas for multipurpose usage. As Prep reaches all of its
campaign goals, aesthetic enhancements will continue to create
a central gathering area at the heart of the campus, enhancing
the unity of our entire community and attracting the attention
of families considering Prep.
Senior High Renovations
• With the wonderful addition of the Guyton Science Center,
classroom space in the High School has been created by relocating
classes to the new building. The former science rooms and classrooms
not renovated since the ‘79 flood need to be updated to
accommodate modern teaching methods, technology and current curriculum
needs. Renovating classrooms will allow Prep to provide the very
best learning atmosphere. The foreign language programs will greatly
benefit from these changes and will directly impact more than
half our students on a daily basis. The Guyton Science Center
is a shining example of what our facilities can be with your investment.
Athletic Improvements
• All athletes will benefit from our planned improvements.
The most urgent need is to renovate and expand the west side of
the gymnasium to provide the facilities that our coaches and athletes
deserve. Locker room areas are not efficient and need to be upgraded
to accommodate the explosive growth in girls’ athletics.
As Prep successfully completes each campaign goal, the athletic
improvements will greatly enhance the existing facilities and
provide additional space for other school programs.
Expand Prep’s Endowments
Faculty Excellence Fund
• The purpose of the Faculty Excellence Fund is to provide
funds for professional opportunities for faculty, thereby ensuring
high quality and effective teaching. This fund will allow Jackson
Prep to increase faculty salaries, provide academic chairs in
various departments and supplement faculty and curriculum enrichment
programs. Recruiting and retaining the finest faculty members
available is of paramount importance. The current endowment is
more than $800,000.
Tuition Assistance Fund
• The long-range goal of the Jackson Prep Tuition Assistance
Fund is to assist the school in its desire to offer an outstanding
college-preparatory education to all deserving students regardless
of their financial resources. Jackson Prep has always promoted
economic and ethnic diversity within the school community. As
tuition continues to increase to cover the rising cost of operating
the school, Jackson Prep must rely on new sources of funding for
its tuition assistance program. The current endowment is approaching
$140,000.
2006-2007 ANNUAL FUND GOAL $300,000
• Because tuition does not cover the total cost of a Jackson
Prep education, contributions from the Annual Fund are used to
supplement all areas of the educational experience. These donations
enhance academics, visual and performing arts, athletics and community
service.
