One of the most anticipated traditions each year at JA is Senior Awards Night, held last Tuesday evening. At this event, JA announces members of the Hall of Fame, Most Beautiful, Most Handsome, Beauties and Beaux, Mr. and Miss JA, and Class Favorites, among other academic, service, and student life awards.
The awards ceremony took place in the Performing Arts Center. After the ceremony, students enjoyed an evening at the Country Club of Jackson, where they had a meal and listened to a presentation from the recipient of the 2025 Distinguished Alumni of the Year award.
