BACKGROUND NOTE
University Place, a village in Lancaster County surrounding Nebraska Wesleyan University, was incorporated in 1889. They soon established a public school and the first class of students from University Place High School graduated in 1895. In 1912 the old frame building was replaced by a much larger, three story brick building. In 1926 University Place voted to be annexed to Lincoln and their schools became part of the Lincoln school system. Since University Place no longer existed as an entity, the name of the school was changed to Jackson High School, named for William Roberts Jackson, a leader in education and former dean of the College of Education at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
