Greetings Jacksonville Elementary School Community,

It is an honor to introduce myself as the new principal of Jacksonville Elementary School. I am so excited and so very proud to collaborate with each of you this upcoming school year as we work together to move ALL scholars toward excellence, growth, and student success. I can assure you of my commitment to the growth of Jacksonville Elementary and our wonderful learning community. My personal vision for Jacksonville Elementary School is a simple one:

Jacksonville Elementary will be an educational institution where academic, social, and emotional EXCELLENCE are cultivated and curated FOR ALL via positive relationships, collaboration, and data-driven decision-making.

Our school community has dedicated staff members who are committed to doing what is in the best interest of all scholars. Furthermore, our staff is devoted to putting students first while they are in our care. I believe that positive relationships are the catalysts necessary for us to not only grow as a people but for us to also grow as a community. Please be confident in knowing that your scholar is our first priority in a plethora of ways!

My door is always open to you, and most importantly, please know that you are always welcome here! Again, I am honored and humbled to serve this community and to serve your scholars. I am thrilled about all we will accomplish together for our scholars and look forward to celebrating our collective success this school year.

Educationally,

Mr. Tony Howard, Principal
