West Rusk ISD Board Names Jake Jackson as Lone Finalist for Superintendent
The Board of Trustees for West Rusk Independent School District (ISD) has officially named Jake Jackson as the lone finalist for the position of Superintendent. Jackson, who has been a prominent figure within the district, has served as Principal of West Rusk High School since March 2010.
Prior to his tenure at West Rusk High School, Jackson held the position of Assistant Principal at Troup High School. A hometown graduate of West Rusk High School, he completed his undergraduate studies at Rice University and earned a Master’s Degree in Education from Stephen F. Austin State University. Most recently, Jackson achieved his Superintendent certification through Texas A&M University-Texarkana, which he completed in 2025.
The decision to appoint Jackson as the lone finalist comes as the district seeks to ensure strong leadership moving forward. The Board will adhere to a mandatory 21-day waiting period before finalizing the appointment. This process allows for transparency and community input before the official confirmation of the new Superintendent.
West Rusk ISD expressed optimism regarding Jackson’s leadership, emphasizing his longstanding commitment to the district and the Raider community. The Board looks forward to the vision and direction he will bring as they navigate future challenges and opportunities.
With an extensive background in education and a deep connection to the community, Jackson’s selection reflects the district’s aim to maintain continuity in leadership while fostering an environment of growth and development for both students and staff. As the waiting period progresses, stakeholders within the district are keenly observing the transition and the potential impact on the educational landscape in West Rusk.
