Principal

Welcome to East Jackson Elementary school! I am blessed to be the Principal here at this wonderful school.  This year will be my 26th  year in education with the last 23 of those being here in Jackson County.  I began my career in my home state of Virginia, teaching fifth grade.  My husband and I moved to Georgia in 2001.  Since then, I have served as a fourth grade teacher at SJES, served as the assistant principal of Maysville Elementary School, the assistant principal at South Jackson Elementary School and the AP here at EJES. 

EJES is a great place to be! Our students are bright and talented and we strive for greatness every day!  We have many exciting things going on from innovative classrooms, unique learning opportunities for students, after-school clubs, celebrations,  and much more!  Our teachers are amazing and they work very hard to provide a rigorous, standards-based curriculum that is tailored to the individual needs of our students. We believe that East Jackson students deserve the very best and we work to ensure they get the best every day.  We stand by our motto, “Expect More, Achieve More,”

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to come by the school or you can contact me by phone at 706-336-7900 or email me apennington@jcss.us.  Thank you for all of your support.  

Sincerely, 

Allyson Pennington
