P J Jacobs Junior High School

I have had the opportunity to work at Pacelli High School (as a substitute teacher) in a variety of classes and with a variety of students. With over thirty years of teaching experience in public education I was simply amazed with the teaching and learning environment Pacelli has to offer. In every class the students are respectful and are on task. There are systems in place for those students that struggle and teachers are always willing to help those that need assistance as well as motivate students to learn. Personal accountability for behavior and academic success are emphasized. There are no bells and students report to class on time, tardiness does not seem to be an issue. Student involvement in sports, community service and religious worship are all wonderful positive attributes of this school. The staff goes above and beyond to provide opportunities for each student to grow, learn and thrive. I also want to acknowledge the administrative staff and the principal of Pacelli High School for their leadership and support.
