In an effort to honor the outstanding educators who toil tirelessly to give the students enrolled in the Jackson Parish school system the best education possible, the Jackson Parish School District (JPSD) is pleased to continue the weekly educator recognition program entitled “Who We Are Wednesday.”

Each Wednesday, one of the faculty members of the JPSD will be recognized for their tremendous commitment, dedication, and excellence in the classroom that helps our local youth prepare for their future endeavors. This week, the JPSD recognizes Katie Delaney, 5th Grade Teacher at Weston High School as “Staff Standout.”

With 15 years in education, including 9 years at Jonesboro Elementary and 6 years at Weston, Katie brings heart and high expectations to her classroom.

She treasures watching students grow throughout the year, gain confidence, and move on prepared for the next grade. A recent accomplishment that stands out to Mrs. Delaney was the strong LEAP growth achieved by her students last year—an accomplishment that truly reflected their hard work in the classroom.

She credits her parents, both educators, as a major influence in her decision to become a teacher and for shaping her passion for education. If she weren’t in education, Katie would be a stay-at-home mom or an interior designer. She enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, decorating, and shopping.

Please join the Jackson Parish School District in celebrating Katie Delaney and the lasting impact she continues to make on students across Jackson Parish Schools!
