High School 9:12 believes that leadership is the key to success. The John Donahoo Jr High School 9:12 Leadership Academy was created to provide high school students with an experience of a lifetime. We have partnered with schools from all over Jacksonville, FL to provide selected students with an exclusive lesson taught by author Jack William on how to become a confident, competent, and effective leader. Students will have a full day of learning and collaborating with students from different schools. Every student will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the day.

The Leadership Academy was named after Mr. Donahoo in honor of the legacy he left.
​
Mr. Donahoo was born in Jacksonville, Florida on December 28th, 1938 and died May 28th, 2019. He attended Lee ( Riverside) High School, the University of Florida, Stetson University, Jacksonville University, Cumberland School of Law, and Boston University.
​
John William Donahoo Jr. was a servant leader in the City of Jacksonville. He had a heart full of love that overflowed, leaving an indelible imprint on hearts and minds of so many. In the words of his daughter. "He left it all on the field."
​
He was a steafast supporter of education, beloved by those who knew him professionally and personally. His servants heart for his family, friends, community, and church, guided a life devoted to the love and care of others.
