Bio
Hello,
I am JeRee Dukes and I am the elementary Special Education teacher. I have been
a part of the TCS Jag family for 5 years and during my tenure, I have been
fortunate to teach all grade levels k-12 but have found my gifting with
elementary students. I am a 2009 high school graduate from Lincoln County.
Following high school graduation, I pursued a BA in music (vocal performance)
in 2013, a MA in Music (Vocal Performance)in 2015, and in 2019 I earned my MAT in
Special Education.
My educational beliefs are centered around Proverbs
22:6, if we train up a child in the way they shall go: and when they are older,
they will not depart from it. When students are given the right strategies and
tools, they can succeed regardless of what their circumstances and situation
may be. As a teacher, it is my job to help develop and mold students
educationally and with life skills. Choosing to become a teacher was more than
a career change for me it was finally knowing my purpose. If I believe in my
students, then they will believe in themselves. As a cohesive team and with
their family involved, they will know with hard work and dedication all things
are possible.
