Jackson Johnson – The Trail – The Student News Site of McIntosh High School

Jackson Johnson, Staff Writer

Sophomore Jackson Johnson is new to the trail this year. Jackson joined the trail this year because of an older friend who said it would be a lot of fun. Jackson’s goal this year is to improve on his nose for news and getting to know what’s going on around him. Jackson plays soccer for the Mcintosh varsity team and won his first state championship last year. Outside of school Jackson plays on a club soccer team named AFC Lighting. Jackson is a member of the National English Honor Society and values his academics very highly.
