Meet Melinda "Math" Jackson.

Melinda Jackson is an outstanding teacher. She teaches Pre-Algebra and Geometry here at Red Cloud. The students appreciate and enjoy being in her class. There are lots of laughs and memories made in Melinda’s classroom. She enjoys working with all the students in her classes and hopes nothing but the best for them and their future.

Melinda is from Gordon, NE. She attended college at Chadron State. Before coming to work at Red Cloud, Melinda worked at Little Wound High School. Melinda has enjoyed all the time she spent here at Red Cloud.

Melinda plans on coming back next year to continue teaching Geometry and Pre-Algebra. One of the most fulfilling parts of Melinda’s job is being able to watch the students grow not only academically but also maturity-wise and spiritually.

Every year Melinda enjoys meeting the new volunteers and working with the veteran teachers. Not only the students but the staff hope to see Melinda next year.

“Always end the day with a positive thought no matter how hard things were. Tomorrow's a fresh opportunity to make it better,” said Jackson.
