EOC, AP, and IB Testing Begins This Week

Jackson County High School’s second-semester testing season is underway! EOC, AP, and IB exams begin this week, with EOC exams running May 6–15.

Senior final exams will take place May 12–13, followed by underclassmen (9th–11th grade) final exams on May 19–20. Please note that early release will occur on Wednesday, May 20 after exams conclude.

Families are encouraged to review the full schedule, ensure students are prepared, and mark these important dates on their calendars. Attendance is essential—there are no early exams, and missed exams may result in a zero until completed.
