Chapel Services Launch School Year with Messages of Hope
“The antidote to busyness of soul is not sloth and indifference,” Christian author Kevin DeYoung writes in his book Crazy Busy. “The antidote is rest.” At each chapel gathering in Jackson Academy’s Lower, Middle, and Upper School, students and faculty pause in prayer amid a full school day to breathe in worship and reflect on a message drawn from the Bible.

Jackson Academy’s Raider Network recently acquired a 36-foot production truck to enhance the school’s live stream and event production capabilities. Raider Network currently streams programming for athletics, performing arts, and various on and off-campus events.
