    Jackson Preparatory School is requesting membership beginning with the 2011-12 school year.
    
    Jackson Preparatory School is fully accredited by SACS and has a grade configuration of K-12. Total enrollment in grades 9-12 is 30 students at the present time. If approved, Jackson Preparatory School plans to compete in Division II, Class A. The school plans to offer football, basketball, baseball, track, volleyball, and possibly baseball. The football program will not be eligible to participate in the post season playoff series until reclassification is completed in 2013-14. It is our understanding that this is not an issue since plans are to play an independent junior varsity schedule until participation numbers increase.
