Vincent Jackson, ’27

April 20, 2026

Vincent Jackson ’27 is the kind of student who quietly makes a strong and lasting impression. Thoughtful, kind, and driven, Vincent approaches each day with a steady focus on improving himself—both in and out of the classroom.

In class, Vincent may not always be the loudest voice, but he consistently makes an impact. Teachers note that he is often the one willing to ask the question others are thinking but may hesitate to voice. That willingness not only helps him grow, but supports his classmates as well. He takes ownership of his learning: keeping up with assignments, seeking help when needed, and looking for ways to improve. As one teacher shared, he is “a very conscientious student” who is always polite and engaged in his own quiet way.

Vincent’s positive attitude and initiative stand out. He routinely checks in for extra help, stays on top of his work even when absent, and approaches his academics with purpose. His classmates recognize this as well, holding him in high regard for both his work ethic and his character. He brings a calm, respectful presence to the classroom that contributes to a strong learning environment.

Outside the classroom, Vincent’s talents truly shine on stage. A member of the Forensics team, he competes in poetry and programmed oral interpretation, showcasing both his creativity and confidence as a speaker. He is also an accomplished performer in Central Catholic’s Masque productions. In this spring’s performance of The Addams Family, Vincent took on the role of Uncle Fester, delivering a memorable performance that highlighted his abilities as a singer, actor, and dancer. As one teacher put it, “Vince is a true performer…always willing to take risks,” bringing something new and engaging to every role he takes on.

What makes Vincent stand out most, however, is who he is as a person. He is described as warm, humble, and genuinely kind—“a human being of the highest caliber.” He welcomes new challenges, supports those around him, and continues to push himself to grow. Whether in the classroom, on stage, or among his peers, Vincent is a friend to all and someone others respect and appreciate.

For his dedication to his studies, his willingness to step outside his comfort zone, and the talent and character he brings to the Central Catholic community, we are proud to recognize Vincent Jackson ’27 as this week’s Viking of the Week.
