Principal's Message
Tracie Hart-Jackson, Principal
Dear Jenard Gross Community,
As we step into a new school year, I am filled with pride and excitement for the journey ahead. Our theme, “Boots on the Ground: JGE, Moving Every Step Towards Excellence,” is more than a motto—it’s a call to action. It reflects our unwavering commitment to being present, proactive, and purposeful in every moment, every classroom, and every interaction.
At Jenard Gross Elementary, we believe that excellence is not a destination but a continuous journey. This year, we will walk that path together—with determination in our stride and unity in our hearts.
Our vision is clear:
A campus where learning is inspired, and leadership is cultivated every day.
Our mission is powerful:
Empower every child to excel through high-quality instruction and strong community partnerships.
And our core values guide us:
- Excellence in all we do
- Equity for every learner
- Empowerment through education
- Engagement with our families and community
- Empathy in our relationships
Let us move forward with courage, compassion, and conviction. With our boots on the ground, we are ready to make every step count—toward growth, achievement, and a future filled with promise.
Thank you for being an essential part of our journey. Together, we will make this year unforgettable.
With gratitude and determination,
Principal Tracie Hart-Jackson
