JACKSON — High school education in the Mount Washington Valley may forever be about to change.
The Jackson School Board unveiled before a crowd of about 60 people in the Whitney Center on Monday night that it has negotiated contracts to send its high school students to both Kennett High School and Fryeburg Academy, giving parents a choice should voters opt for this path at the annual school district meeting on March 5.
