Today we are highlighting Darren Jackson, School Social Worker, and the important role he plays in supporting students and families. Read below to hear in his own words, why he does this work and what inspires him to serve our school community every day.
“I believe every student deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported.
One of the most important reasons I chose this field is my desire to be a voice for those who feel voiceless. Some students face challenges that make it difficult to speak up. I am here to listen, support, and ensure their needs are recognized.”
For more information about the supports available to students and families, visit the Social Work Services page under Academics and Counseling section on the school’s website.
