JEFFERSON COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL'S TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Ms. Yakeidra Belle
For Immediate Release: December 28, 2020
Belle named Jefferson County High School's 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year
The Jefferson County School District is pleased to announce that Ms. Yakeidra Belle has been named Jefferson County High School's 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year.
Belle graduated from Jefferson County High School in 2014 and Alcorn State University with a bachelor’s degree in English Education in 2018. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Mississippi College. She holds teaching certifications in English (7-12) and Mild/Moderate Disabilities (K-12).
Belle has been employed with Jefferson County School District as an English Language Arts teacher since August 2018. She taught at the junior high school for one year, and she is currently serving her second year at the high school. Belle has served our school district in many capacities, such as Poetry Out-Loud Advisor, Chair of the English Department, Prom Committee Sponsor, Junior High and High School Leadership Team, 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) After-School Teacher, and so much more. The Mississippi Department of Education recently selected her to serve on a committee that reviews HQIM (High-Quality Instructional Materials) for future use by the state.
She is the mother of 1-year-old Jonah Nigel Banks and is a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated.
She governs her students by this short affirmation written by Walt Disney, “Around here we don’t look backwards for very long, we keep moving forward.” and this has proven to be motivational and uplifting to her classes.
“Failure is not the opposite of success. Failure is a PART of success,” Belle asserts. “I teach my students to be persistent. We won’t win every time, but we WILL try.”
Please join us in congratulating Ms. Yakeidra Belle!!
