In an effort to honor the outstanding educators who toil tirelessly to give students 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, “Who We Are Wednesday.”

Each Wednesday, one of the JPSD faculty members is selected for their tremendous commitment, dedication, and excellence in the classroom, which helps our local youth prepare for their future endeavors. This week, Hannah Jones, a dedicated Math Teacher at Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School for the past 2 years, is recognized.

With 7 years of experience, Hannah continues to make a positive impact both academically and personally, and she loves witnessing the “light bulb” moments in her classroom—those moments when students finally grasp a concept they’ve worked hard to understand. Watching their confidence grow as they realize what they are capable of is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching for her.

Two accomplishments that stand out most in Hannah’s career are being named Highest Performing Math Teacher at JHMS for the 2024-2025 school year and being voted by her colleagues as the “Teacher I Would Like My Child To Have” for the 2025-2026 school year. These honors reflect not only her dedication to student success but also the care and trust she builds with those around her.

Hannah credits her high school Spanish teacher for having a significant impact on her life. She says the teacher constantly reminded students that even what they thought was impossible could be achieved through hard work and perseverance—a lesson Hannah now strives to instill in her own students every day. If she weren’t in education, Hannah would likely be a nurse so she could continue caring for and helping others. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her family.

Please join the Jackson Parish School District in celebrating Hannah Jones as “Staff Standout”.
