The Jacobs Journal

Our teachers are truly something special, and I am so proud to work alongside them each and every day. The Jacobs School is currently ranked in the top third of all schools in Massachusetts, and Massachusetts continues to be ranked number one in the country for public education. Achievements like these do not happen by accident. They are the direct result of passionate, dedicated educators who pour their time, energy, and hearts into our students every single day.

Teachers help build the backbone of our community and our society. They challenge our children to think critically, support them through struggles, celebrate their successes, and help them grow not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The impact they have extends far beyond the walls of the classroom, and lasts a lifetime.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, I encourage everyone to take a moment to recognize and thank the incredible educators who make the Jacobs School such a special place for children to learn and thrive. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a talented and caring staff supporting our students every day.

-Mr. Shaw
