Jacksonville High School is a 5A public high school located in Jacksonville, Texas (USA). It is part of the Jacksonville Independent School District located in north central Cherokee County. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.
Jacksonville High School has recently undergone the first major construction since the late '50s and is now more open to accommodate for the recent switch to a 5A public high school.
The Jacksonville Indians compete in the following sports:
Jacksonville and rival Nacogdoches played in the longest high-school football game in history, a 12-overtime affair in 2010 which resulted in Jacksonville winning 84-81. Only four years later the two would play a (short, by comparison) five-overtime game, with Jacksonville again winning, this time 85-79.
