Pathway I, Computing, focuses on software development and includes a dual enrollment option. Pathway II, Interactive Media, focuses on web design.
Jackson's Engineering and Early College (E2C) SLC formed as part of the University System of Georgia's Early College initiative. E2C partners with Atlanta Metropolitan College, with Atlanta Metro courses being taught on campus at Jackson High in the 2012-13 school year. Classes offered by E2C include circuitry, electronics, foundations of electronics, and early college courses in math, English and social studies.

I with my tendrils did surprise;
Her belly, buttocks, and her waist
By my soft nervelets were embraced;”
