Our Goal Jesse Owens is a primary school in that we service Students in grades Pre-K through Third. Jesse Owens' achievements inspire our students to put forth the effort he demonstrated, to accomplish their own goals. All goals in like require hard work and determination to be successful. The feeling of sucess encourages one to reach even higher and to go that extra mile to attain as much as possible out of life. This is the attitude we hope to instill in the children of Jesse Owens Community Academy. Jesse Owens Community recognizes the need to always involve the parents and community in our effort to provide a well-rounded education for our students. We encourage and utilize every opportunity for us to work together. We are encouraged that we will enhance the lives of our students and motivate them to develop good character and to become responsible adults.
