Where Passion Meets Purpose and Every Student Matters
In the heart of southeast Calgary, tucked into a vibrant and diverse community, there’s a high school that’s redefining what it means to educate, inspire, and empower.
Jack James High School is not just a place of learning - it’s a launchpad for possibility.
Every corner of the school tells a story of potential realized. Here, ambition meets opportunity and students are encouraged to become leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.
“We meet students where they are and help them grow into who they're meant to be," says Darrin Moody, Principal of Jack James High School. “There's something for everyone here. Whether it's art, music, animation and design, sports, career and technology studies, Indigenous leadership class or clubs - this school makes it easy to find your place and your passion."
Parents echo that sentiment. “I’ve seen my child grow in confidence and capability,” shares one parent. “Jack James offers personalized learning, caring educators, and a community that genuinely works together for student success.”
At the core of Jack James High School are the values of Pride, Perseverance, and Integrity. These aren’t just words painted on a wall. They’re lived daily by students, teachers, and staff who believe in rising above challenges and striving for excellence – it's no surprise that Jack James is a school of choice within CBE.
“Jack James gave me the confidence to pursue my passions,” says one Grade 12 student. “Here, I learned who I am - and who I want to become.”
At Jack James, they’re not just preparing students for graduation - they’re preparing them for life.
