Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

Mrs. Jackson is a math teacher here at SJHS. She has been teaching for 21 years- all at SJHS!

According to Mrs. Jackson, she is originally from Indiana. She graduated from BYU. She is married and has four sons, one of which goes to SJHS. She loves U of U sports, especially football and and gymnastics. She really loves watching movies and doing anything with her family. 

According to Mrs. Jackson, the reason she teaches math is because it just made sense to her, and she wanted those that struggled to feel successful at it too. She felt like she could do that for students.

Some reasons students like her is because, “she helps you understand math easier by making you do the problems in the guided practice with her so you understand what your assignment is gonna be like,” said Mazey Schofield, a seventh grader in Mrs. Jackson's class. 

Josie Rey, another seventh grader, in her class said, “I like Mrs. Jackson because she lets you work with friends, and she get the point of the lesson across pretty quick so that we have time to work on it in class. I also like that she is really patient with you and doesn’t get angry with you.”

Caydon Lanier, another seventh grader in Mrs. Jackson’s Class, said, “I like Mrs. Jackson because she is happy, she helps, and she goes fast but at the right pace so that we understand.”

According to Mrs. Jackson, a funny story from her childhood is, when she was a kid she liked to have walnut wars in her backyard with her siblings.They would build forts and throw walnuts at each other. “It was a lot of fun,” she said.

All in all Mrs. Jackson loves SJHS and has loved all of the 21 years she has taught here. “Go Knights,” said Mrs. Jackson.
