At JPS, we care deeply about our students and one another! So much so that developing relationships through mutual respect of culture, social context, and community is a JPS core value.

In a recent survey, JPS educators said that two of the biggest bright spots as a teacher in JPS are their supportive colleagues and leaders and their relationships with students and families.

In fact, 60% of teachers report that relationships with colleagues is one of the top 5 strengths for JPS as a place to teach.

Strong relationships lead to increased student impact: 61% of JPS teachers became a teacher primarily in order to have a positive impact on students.

What our teachers are saying:

“The biggest blessing is the life-long connections created between parents, scholars, and educators.”

“I have had the privilege to work alongside many inspiring colleagues who are dedicated to helping children.”
