Jackson PreK-8 Administration would like to give a Bearcat shout-out to their MTSS Specialist, Mrs. Adria Stoner for taking on all the duties for PSSA. We are beyond thankful for all of her hard work and the countless hours she spent making sure the whole process ran smoothly at Jackson PreK-8.

Jackson and Ferguson Bearcats made their mark at the Pennsylvania State Capitol!
Students joined award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, PA State Senator Vincent Hughes, and PA Representative Carol Hill-Evans, to celebrate the launch of the United States of Readers program — an exciting initiative that gives students access to free books of their choice from Scholastic!
We’re proud to see our Bearcats representing the School District of the City of York in such a meaningful literacy initiative.
