Catholic High School Senior Jackson Whitlow Named Baton Rouge Diocese 12th Grade Student of the Year!

An academic and extracurricular all-star, Jackson is a National Merit Semifinalist, an AP Scholar with Distinction, and is part of the ACT 30+ Club. He is a talented vocalist, serving as President of the CHS/SJA Choir. 

Once in a while, a student comes along who makes a lasting impact on my life and career - Jackson is one of those students. As his choir teacher throughout his high school career for the past five years, I have watched him grow into an extraordinary, confident young man who demonstrates leadership ability through his service to his school and community. -Choir Director Steve Galliano

Jackson is also active in several other CHS clubs - Robotics, Ambassadors, Student Ministry, Beach Volleyball, and Spanish Club - among a host of other activities. He founded the CHS student organization, My Brother’s Keeper, and volunteers regularly, which earned him the Baton Rouge State Fair Foundation Outstanding High School Volunteer Award.

We are so proud to have Jackson represent CHS as Baton Rouge's candidate for Louisiana Diocese Student of the Year!

Jackson is a young man with tremendous poise and presence. He manages to adapt to every situation he’s in with grace and confidence. I also love that he is fearless in his approach to any challenge, academic or otherwise. Simply put, he is a delight, and I’m honored to know him. -English Teacher Nancy Herin
