History
Named after the residential neighbourhood the school was constructed in. Annie B. Jackson (1879-1959) was Edmonton's first female police officer and the first female Constable in Canada. Jackson came to Edmonton in 1910 and worked for the Children's Aid Society and the Ruthenian Home for girls, which helped immigrant women find employment and learn English. In 1912, Jackson was hired by the Edmonton Police Department; her primary responsibility was to protect the morals of young women and girls. The school was scheduled to opened in September 2002, but was delayed until November 2002. Students that were registered at Jackson Heights School were housed temporarily at Vimy Ridge Academy.
