When Brent Carpenter decided to move from Winn Parish schools to take over as Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School Principal he had a vision in mind of making a difference through leadership to his students. 

He had done just that. 

In the most recent Louisiana School Grades, J-HMS scored an A in school progress, letter grade equivalent category. As result, in just his second year at J-HMS he has been named Principal of the Year by the Jackson Parish School District.
