We were so proud to have Leah Sturgill, a second grader from Burdine Elementary, lead the Pledge of Allegiance at this month’s Board of Education meeting!
Standing tall and speaking with confidence, Leah did a fantastic job representing her school and her fellow students. It’s not every day a second grader takes the floor at a board meeting, but Leah handled it like a pro.
Way to go, Leah! We are so proud of the leader you are becoming. ✨

Some people teach for a living.
Others make it their life’s work.
After 42 years in education, Mrs. Sally Hubbard has closed an incredible chapter of service, and Jenkins Independent School District has been better because she chose to spend part of that journey with us.
Over the years, she did far more than teach high school science. She invested in young people. She challenged them to think. She encouraged them when they needed confidence. She showed up, consistently and faithfully, in ways that don’t always make headlines but absolutely shape lives.
Experience like hers is rare. Four decades in the classroom brings wisdom you can’t replicate overnight. But beyond her knowledge and professionalism, what stands out most is the way she cared for students.
She helped create an atmosphere where students felt supported and valued. Through her involvement with Bible Club and her everyday interactions, she quietly influenced the culture of our school in positive and lasting ways.
Education is not always an easy calling. It requires patience, strength, and heart. Mrs. Hubbard carried all three with grace.
As we recognize her retirement, we simply want to say thank you, for the time, the commitment, the leadership, and the countless unseen moments that made a difference.
Mrs. Sally Hubbard leaves behind more than lesson plans and lab materials. She leaves behind a legacy of steady influence and lives touched.
Congratulations on your retirement, Sally. Jenkins will always be grateful for the years you gave to our students and this community.
