Principal's Message

Dr. Jazmin Torres / Jackson Middle School

It is very exciting to have the opportunity to serve as the Principal of Hazel I. Jackson Middle School. It is evident that the Jackson community has a strong foundation, and I am looking forward to building upon its strengths. My goal is to ensure that students receive a complex and rigorous curriculum while also ensuring safety as we work to meet the social and emotional needs of our student body.

I come to you with 21 years of experience in education, and I value teamwork, transparency, and growth. Middle school is marked as a period of transition in adolescent development. Serving students at this grade level provides us with a great opportunity to shape citizenship, build a sense of belonging, and increase academic excellence. I look forward to our partnership as we work to attain excellence for all of our students and ensure our staff members have the tools to secure their success.
