I am Lonna L. Jackson, a native of Arkadelphia, AR. I attended Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, where I earned my BSE in Secondary Education and MSE in Educational Leadership. I began my teaching career in Texarkana ISD as a 7th grade Writing teacher, and then I served as an administrative intern. After 6 years of service in TISD,I moved to Mesquite in 2005 and began teaching 8th grade ELA at A. C. New Middle School. After a year of teaching at A. C. New, I transitioned into the role of assistant principal there. This is my 13th year in the field of education, and I'm excited to join the Jaguar team!
