Within our schools, we are truly blessed with teachers who are dedicated, passionate, and possess an unwavering commitment to their calling. These educators leave a lasting mark on the lives of countless students within the JACS system, nurturing not only their minds but also their souls. Our teachers exemplify the profound impact of combining academic excellence with spiritual guidance, nurturing not only the minds but also the souls of those they teach.
Each year, we receive nominations from our school community to highlight one of our outstanding educators. This year’s honoree is a person of deep faith and tireless energy, serving our system as a teacher, a mentor, and a coach. Whether in the classroom or in athletics, they encourage our students to be respectful in all situations, teaching them the life lessons and expectations they will need long after graduation. Their passion for teaching shines through in captivating stories and engaging lessons. Under their leadership, students have seen great successes, including spiritually by encouraging students to attend Mass regularly. Their commitment to our schools has inspired parents and local partners to work together to continue to improve our system. Coach Andy Youngworth is respected and loved by families who see him as a role model for their children.
