📚✨ Small Groups, BIG Impact! ✨📚
Mrs. Destiny Harvey’s 5th grade ELA scholars are getting the focused support they need through Tier 1 small-group instruction! Small groups allow teachers to meet scholars where they are, provide feedback, and give them opportunities to grow!

Building a stronger team starts with learning to listen—not just to respond, but to understand. 👂🏽

Today’s team-building activity challenged us to practice intentional listening: slowing down, creating space, and being fully present with one another. 🔗🫶🏽

It’s football season 😁 Of course I asked him about his time as a college quarterback 💯🏈

But we’re talking workforce development, mostly. I promise 🧰🛠️🏗️⚙️💻🛜

[Marlon D. King @suptking]

I am deeply humbled and grateful to be named the 2027 Tennessee Superintendent of the Year. 💙💚
This recognition may have my name on it, but it belongs to the incredible students, teachers, staff, school leaders, families, Board members, and community partners of Jackson-Madison County Schools.
Leadership is never a solo journey. I am thankful for every person who has believed in our vision, challenged us to keep growing, and worked alongside us to create better opportunities for children.
To represent Southwest Tennessee—and now our great state—is an honor I do not take lightly.
JMCSS, this one belongs to ALL of us! 🙏🏆
