JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Educators make a difference in students’ lives every day. For many students, having a school employee who cares and goes that extra mile can be the difference in a successful education and graduation. We’ve all had that teacher, or school employee who inspired us or helped in some way. That’s why WLAF and Eagle Tire Pros salute all of our hardworking educators with a weekly feature.
Jordon Wilson is Eagle Tire Pros Educator of the Week. He teaches Geometry at Campbell County High School and has been an educator for eight years.
Wilson is from Campbell County and has “lived in La Follette his whole life.”
He attended school at La Follette Middle School and CCHS, before going to the “local Roane State and then finishing up at Lincoln Memorial University.”
He teaches Geometry at CCHS but has also taught math at LaFollette Middle School.
According to Wilson, he had several instructors that helped inspire him during his own school years and led him towards a career in education.
“Dr. Lyle Craig and Don Hendricks always stood out as phenomenal educators who helped me enjoy my high school years. Educators like those really made me want to get into the classroom myself and make a difference in our local youth,” Wilson said.
His favorite part of the job “by far is the kids” he works with every day.
“They always keep me laughing and surprise me daily with their accomplishments and now that I work with high schoolers, I am so inspired by their dreams and ambitions and eagerly await for updates on their accomplishments,” Wilson said.
Another favorite part of his job is where he works.
“I love working at CCHS so much because of the amazing support of my fellow teachers and the great admin team we have.”
Every Thursday, WLAF’s Charlotte Underwood features the WLAF – Eagle Tire Pros teacher of the week. That educator also receives a free oil change from Eagle Tire Pros.
