Tina Jordan's adventures at GWA began when she started as a volunteer when her children were enrolled in lower school. As usually happens when volunteers do too good of a job, Tina was officially hired as a GWA employee working with the students as a para-pro on the Hill around 2000, where her love for the students of GWA became very apparent. Later she left the classroom and moved into the enrollment and admissions office for several years continuing to serve GWA students and families. From there, Tina moved into the front office reception position working even more closely with students and families, as well as helping with administration and faculty and staff. This may or may not have been the era when Tina became lovingly referred to as “Tina Mama” by all who knew her best. Tina came to work in the business office in 2017 where she has continued to serve all areas of the school – students, families, faculty/staff, coaches, administrators and even vendors.
Her daughter, Jessie (Jordan) Fincher attended GWA from first grade through graduation in 2004 and her son James “Bubba” Jordan attended from kindergarten through graduation in 2006.
Tina has always been one of GWA’s greatest cheerleaders, supporting not only her children in their athletic endeavors, but all teams through the years. Even after her children graduated, Tina has continued to support the teams and coaches – helping by making sure gate bags and concession boxes are prepared for every event.
Through all of these years, Tina's love for GWA is unwavering. She has been a ray of sunshine and faithful servant for GWA for nearly 30 years, always offering a smile and a helping hand whenever needed. The cheer she brings to the business office and shares with our George Walton family will definitely be missed. We wish “Tina Mama” the best in her next chapter and her well-deserved retirement.
