Educational Philosophy

Dr. Jackson describes himself as a “cultural strategist” and “equity warrior,” always seeking to create opportunities for students to take advantage of the public education system while pursuing the American Dream. He strongly believes that a child’s destiny is not determined by zip code, and that there is nothing impossible to the people that believe in the transformative powers of a Great God and a good education. Students are afforded one time to be in school. Dr. Jackson believes it is the role of professional educators to make this the most positive and impactful experience for all students.
