Say hello to one of our amazing dual language teachers from Selma Elementary School, Micaela Acosta! Micaela says, "What I love most about being a part of JCPS is the strong sense of community and collaboration." It is those kinds of beliefs that make her such an impactful part of the Yellow Jacket team and why she was nominated as a Flame for Learning honoree this year. We are beyond proud of the continued success Micaela shows in the classroom and throughout the community. Micaela is one of nearly 5,000 current employees who have found rewarding career paths in JCPS! You could be next! https://bit.ly/M_Acosta #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

"This is the perfect place to achieve your dreams as an educator, and if you want to feel supported. If you feel that you need to work in a place with a true focus on student learning and life-changing opportunities, this (JCPS) is the place to be." Maritza Rosado Selma is a small rural town that is bustling with great things! Among those things is Selma Elementary, which is fortunate enough to be led by Mrs. Maritza Rosado! Mrs. Rosado joined the JCPS team many years ago after being inspired by the family-oriented work environment and the community of passionate educators who were driven just as she was. As a leader, Rosado truly believes in pushing her students to achieve while maintaining a healthy balance of fun and instruction. Mrs. Rosado's impact on the Selma community is profound. It is astounding to know that it all began with a spark of interest years ago, which quickly kindled into a flame for education. She made a decision to pursue a career in education with JCPS, and the rest is history! Learn more: https://bit.ly/3ETsokN #GreatThingsAreHappeingInJCPS
