Mrs. Jacqui Steele
6-8 Teacher

Mrs. Steele brings with her a B.S. in Secondary Education with the emphasis on Broad Area English. She says there are many reasons why she became an educator, “First, I love learning. As a teacher, I continue learning to stay current with new concepts and ideas. Secondly, I love the sight of students grasping a new concept, and growing to master that concept. Knowing I play a part in that growth is phenomenal. Finally, teaching forever invites me to stay young at heart.” In her fsixth year with us, she shares what she has witnessed coming to the Academy, “The environment is so welcoming, inviting, and I absolutely love the parent involvement. The educational success of students increases ten-fold with parent involvement.” She resides with her husband- Chad, step-daughter- Brittany, and grandson-Brenden, on a hobby farm just outside of Plum City.
